i love doing things fast. i hate it when i kinda slow down cause i feel that time is important and it runs so fast that time canc't wait for us. and that i have to lot of things i a short time and the opportunity to work is not always present and i just have to work as fast as long as the opportunity is there. and where there is no opportunity then i will just take things slow or just have to enjoy life doing nothing.
but i feel that sometimes takin things slow has its advantage cause it helps avoid mistake and make us more cautious in committing mistake and so in the long run working slow can be more beneficial to us. what do you think about this?

i try to get things done as quickly as possible because i have such a long list of things to get done each day. if i do not get them done they just get tacked on to the next full day of things to do so getting things done fast is a goal of mine. i wish i could take it slower but then i would just have more and more to do the next day.

seems you are pretty busy person that you have lots of new things to do every day. i used to be like that. it is kind of pressure for me. thankfully i am more in relaxed life now.

hello hotsummer,
I prefer to do it slowly but surely. I am not used in doing anything fast even in eating. I want to do it one work at a time. This way, I can avoid mistakes. I was trained like this. I believe there is nothing wrong about it. Better for me, for I can do it right the first time.

I really enjoy fast paced work. I want to get it done, and get it over with. And when there are a lot of things going on, like in a retail situation when you have a lot of customers for instance, it really seems to make the time go by extremely fast.
I want to get the work done as fast as possible so that I can sit back and take it easy as well. LOL
By the way, I noticed you are in Manila. I am currently visiting the Philippines, and I find your country very unique.

yes the fast pace work and with good outcome is really giving me satisfaction too and makes my day complete though i may not earn monetarily but the fact i have saved a lot of time by working fast and doing things fast is a reward in itself. sometimes that to happen in my life. like i want to learn how to type so fast super lighting fast like 120 wpm without any mistake or hardly any mistake at all . but still i commit many mistake and i have get back to those mistakes to correct them and so i am still not able to type real fast and work fast. it gives me such a pleasure sometimes when i can type fast without any mistake at all but that does rarely happen though.

Hey,
Well sometimes I have to work rather fast, if I have an assignment that I have due the next day I have to really step up my game, or else I will never ever finish it. But then again, I also like to take things in moderation. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

lately i need to work fast too cause i want to be more productive too. yeah i think ideally moderation is the best but as we know that our society now is working so fast that every thing must be done fast.

I love to work efficiently which most of the time means working fast. I like to take my time deciding on what to do and planning my course of action but I don't like sitting there twiddling my thumbs rather than being productive.

i agree with what you say. many times we thought that we are doing something when we actually just sit down and try to do nothing and try to think but not come up with any real plan to be followed up by actions. and i have done that many times. and it is really frustrating to be on that situation besides it is such a waste of time. i like to work efficiently just like you. hope to learn that soon or make it a habit soon.

I love to work fast. I feel like it is important to accomplish a lot. I always work fast, I'm not sure why. It seems to shock a lot of people.

wow, I used to be like that, but you have to take things slow down a little sometimes. You might avoid many mistakes at once.

it gives an adrenalin rush when you work fast which is really good. that is what i like to a lot of times specially typing fast makes me feel so happy that i am able to do that. but i do make a lot of mistake typing so fast that is why i take is slowly now so i can check my spelling and my grammar but it gets boring though when i don't type fast. if i can only types so fast that i will so feel very happy every day to be able to do that. that gives me a sense of accomplishments though i don't know if we really can call that an accomplishment. but as far i am concerned that is such an accomplishment for me cause i really admire those people can type really fast as lightning fast without mistakes in spelling or grammar. if there are some mistakes it will be so minimal.

I want to work slowly but surely, I didnt work fast and at the same the all have mistakes, I need to work slowly but surely no mistakes at all. You should work with enjoyment so that all of your work are good and love your work so that it will last longer.

yeah the best way to do while working is just have fun. but learning to have fun sometimes prove to be pretty difficult if not impossible.

I also like to work fast, but sometimes regret for the faults from carelessness. People judge based on you job, as they have no idea how much time you take to fulfil the job.
Fast work is supported by good physical status. When not confident of your health, better slow down a bit to make sure of positive result. But it should not be excuse for lack of discipline and organization.

yeah many times i felt sorry too for being so much in a hurry that i made so many mistakes along the way. so it is not worth it if we can't do it correctly. must start slow .

I would like to take things slow, and make less mistake. Thoroughly inspect your work, and make it perfect as best as you can. I totally agree with you. Hopefully, our work production will be better.

there are certain things i would want to do slow. i just want to enjoy every moment of it and just savor every experience. but there are only few things that i enjoy do things slowly. many times when it comes to work specially work that i don't enjoy to do i will rather do that fast so that i can get done with it fast and get to do that i really do enjoy to do more every day.

I like to work through things slowly if i like it to become perfect and becomes my masterpiece. i am after the quality and not the quantity. in cases i need to do things fast, i makes it good but I could not says that it is 100% labor of love as i am very sure to myself such as in individual work of mine, such as in baking, i do it slow gathering complete ingredients and making its flavor unique as so do I, in terms of cooking food in a slow manner the taste is gently marinated making the food more tender, tasty and all the aroma is enhance to captivate the delicate taste and to bring joy to the eaters..just like in working, the slowly..the more focus and concentration..it also depending on the types of work you are being assign, it is also in a matter of working adjustment and in generally you must be flexible no matter types of work you are going to face..

i think when we want to master some skills or anything being or doing it slowly is a good way. some skills need to be done slowly too though you are good at it. there are some things that you just can't rush. like time is the important factor in some things. but for other things it will be great to do it fast like in this fast paced world. like in our career where it is better if you finish your college as early as possible and work as early as possible to grab the job you want as early as possible and get ahead in life.

I think moderation is the key.At least that is how I see it. When it comes to important tasks, I will take sufficient time to ensure that chances of error are minimized. No point rushing and then realizing that what I did was wrong. When it comes to mundane tasks,I rush through them.
When it comes to enjoying life, I like to take it slow. One life, so want to cherish every moment I get to live.

yes moderation is good. but sometimes being human we can't wait and we want to work things so fast and happen things fast cause we are impatient creature. but when there are days i work fast on the following days i will feel so tired that i don't have the motivation to work at all.

I like doing it in moderation coz if you do it in fast there is a tendency that you commit mistakes.
