A pot made quickly can still need days before it is ready.

Speed at the making stage does not shorten the waiting stage. Clay thrown in ten minutes still has to dry at its own rate, and pushing it into the kiln early cracks the thing you just made well. Plenty of work is like that: the active part is quick and the setting, the resting, the proving is not negotiable.

Look at whatever you are hurrying and separate the doing from the waiting. Where the wait is real, plan around it rather than trying to compress it. Skill shows in knowing which parts of a process will not answer to effort.
