I used to blast through my morning emails in 10 minutes flat, now I take a full hour
About 6 months ago I started actually reading each one for context instead of just replying fast, and I realized I was missing half the important details before. Anyone else find that slowing down made their inbox less of a dumpster fire?

Honestly it's wild how rushing makes everything worse, not just emails. I've noticed the same thing happening with cooking lately, people are so busy trying to get dinner done fast they end up burning stuff or forgetting ingredients.

Three minutes is all it takes to ruin a good stir fry if you crank the heat too high trying to speed things up. I started using a timer for every step after I forgot salt twice in one week. @mary_martin22 is right about that chef too because I spent an hour doing a slow braise last Sunday and it turned out perfect with zero stress. Rushing just makes you redo stuff anyway so it never actually saves time.

Heard a chef on the radio say slow cooking actually saves time because you don't have to fix mistakes.
