No hurry, no pause. Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.
Article: Tim Ferriss on X
From Tim Ferriss:
I routinely write “No hurry, no pause” at the top of my notebooks as a daily reminder.
You can get 95% of the results you want by calmly putting one foot in front of the other.
One former Navy SEAL friend once texted me a principle used in their training: “Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.”
Perhaps I’m just getting old, but my definition of luxury has changed over time. Now, it’s not about owning a lot of stuff. Luxury, to me, is feeling unrushed.
No hurry, no pause.
It takes more energy to initiate motion when overcoming stiction than maintaining that motion, and I found this applies to many things in life.
This also reminds me of running. The main thing is to keep running and never walk. Also, Haruki Murakami on Running and Writing.
