The urge to hurry often comes from fear that what belongs to you might disappear.

Hurry is often fear in a practical disguise. Underneath the push to lock something in is a quiet worry that it is not really yours, that it might be withdrawn, that hesitation will cost you. So you press, and pressing tends to damage the exact thing you were trying to secure.

When you notice yourself rushing, ask what you are afraid of losing. Naming it usually reduces the urgency by half. Then consider whether anything genuinely worth having would be lost by moving at a reasonable pace. Most things that would vanish under patience were not stable enough to keep.
