Impatience is expensive. It charges interest on every shortcut.

Rushing has a price, and it arrives later, which is why it feels free at the time. The skipped step, the thing bought without comparing, the conversation cut short: each saves an hour now and costs several over the following months. Impatience borrows time from your future self at a poor rate.

When you notice you are hurrying a decision, ask what the shortcut actually saves. If the answer is under an hour, take the slow version. Real exceptions exist, but they are rarer than the feeling of urgency suggests.
