The situation may be moving fast without requiring your mind to become messy.

Events can move quickly without your internal state having to match them. That match feels automatic and it is actually optional, and separating the two is one of the more useful things a person can learn. The situation sets the pace of what happens, and you retain some say over the pace of what you think.

When things speed up, deliberately keep your own processing orderly. One thing at a time, clearly named. You can respond fast to a fast situation without becoming disorganised inside it.
