Haste makes waste, as the cliche goes. The Stoic concept of festina lente suggests we will achieve better results by taking our time and doing things right.

When we rush, we’re more likely to make mistakes. We’re more likely to miss seeing important details.

When we take our time, pay attention to what we do, and execute each action with intention, we will avoid having a mess to clean up down the road.

Real, lasting progress often requires a slow – even boring – process of consistent action over a long period. The turtle beats the hare if it just keeps moving.
