Perhaps this applies more to shooting than software development, but...

Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.

If I take 20 minutes more to code a module because I'm thinking about it, but spend 30 minutes less debugging problems with the module, that's fast.

If I take a day to respond to an email, but the person I'm conversing with gets the info they need, avoiding three more days of back and forth, that's fast.

If I take a week longer to iterate through a project idea, but nail the implementation, then I can know that I'm pivoting because the idea was wrong, not the implementation.
