The journey is the destination.
I have a problem with rushing through things. This has helped me slow down and appreciate what I'm doing. I'm not doing something so I can enjoy it after it's done, I'm doing it to enjoy what I'm doing.

Strength Before Weakness
Any wisdom to share about how to be successful slowing down in this way? I'm a major rusher through. I even got a tattoo to remind me to slow down. But I often forget.
It's not easy.
When I feel myself rushing I try to think about why I'm in a rush and what I'll actually gain. Like maybe rushing through a task will let me play a video game or something, but what does that do? Let's me relax? Why not relax now and try to enjoy what I'm doing, or at least avoid having to do it twice.
