You can go fast or go far, not both

We can do things fast, or we can do them for a long time. Rarely can we go fast for a long time. Instead of thinking about how much you need to get done this week, think about how much you could get done over the next 30 days.

Think long rather than fast. You’ll get much more done over the next month, year, and decade thinking about “slow productivity” rather than crushing your life with 16-hour days of work.

Indeed the French proverb rings true: He who wishes to travel far spares his speed.
