Timing becomes easier to respect when you understand what rushing has already cost you.

Respect for timing usually arrives through cost. Once you have watched something good break because you pushed, the abstract advice becomes concrete and the urge to hurry loses some of its authority. That is an expensive teacher, and there is no reason to keep repaying the same lesson.

Spend a few minutes cataloguing what rushing has already cost you. Name the specific instances rather than the general tendency. Keep that list somewhere accessible, and consult it the next time you feel certain that this particular situation cannot wait. The evidence is more persuasive than any principle.
