Going slow is essential for going fast
Dead on! It’s too easy for people to get caught up in trying to be efficient (fast) without realizing that efficiency should rest upon effectiveness (slow).
Also, thanks for reminding me about Jonathan’s post. In case anyone else is curious, it’s The Number One Self Development Mistake and The Fake Growth Addict.

I procrastinate. I avoid doing the work that is most important. I’ll read a book, watch TV, or go for a walk. I know what I need to be doing, but I can’t wrap my mind around it.

Precisely. As an aside, this is why I read multiple books in pushes – I’ll read a book and let it sit for a couple of days while I’m doing the same with other books. This route makes it harder to get the “YAY!” feeling from finishing a book, but it turns into a much better reading process.
Thanks for letting us know about Post-Practice Improvement!

"A friend got me thinking about the term “turtling” that I sometimes use to describe the process that people go through to hide out and feel secure. We all turtle up in different ways, and one of the challenges of being a coach is to figure out when the turtling is instrumental and when it’s detrimental."

I lean toward turtling as instrumental, mainly because the culture comes down so strongly on the forced-growth, play-bigger side. Yet your post is causing me to ask myself to what extent that’s a reactive position. I see the opportunity for greater flexibility in moving between the two poles of instrumental-detrimental turtling — both in my coaching and in moving my own projects forward ... See all content

Ever heard of Post-Practice Improvement? It’s a process in your brain, leveraged by professional pianists and other master learners.
You know how in bodybuilding your muscles don’t grow during the workout, they grow in between workouts? Well, the same happens with skills in your brain. You need your “downtime” to grow skills properly. (It takes a while for the neurons

This resonates a lot with Johnathan Mead’s latest post. Part of “growing” is taking time to just be. So often we get caught up in always doing something, when the most effective thing to do is just take sometime off and process what it is that we have learned.
The turtle truth is we can’t always be going at full speed. As much as we may think we can this only burns
