Slowing down was one of the hardest and best things I have ever done.

It can be hard in environments where even hours longer on a piece of work can make the difference between happy customers and sad ones but it pays off quite quickly.

You write better code which is easier to maintain and has more tests. In doing so you are able to improve your craft which is hard to do when you are rushing yourself.

Once you get better you will be more productive and can get work done faster but with acceptable quality.
