Why there is power in slow
Many thanks to Paul Boal for this lovely multitasking graph. It illustrates how much energy you save when you go slow. Fast is not better. It merely takes more effort!

I can see in the image all those folks going “back and forth.” Seems true that when we are in a hurry, that is when we forget the keys or that all important file for the meeting.
Us slow, most likely checklist using, individuals move at a slower pace, however, we find no need to retrace our steps.

March 25, 2010 at 6:37 amThank you, Maria! I find it to truly illustrate the point that rushing back and forth takes more energy and time! Whenever I’m in a hurry, I find I lose my keys constantly! I call it the lost key syndrome. As a matter of fact, I recently found my keys in the trash. Now that’s distraction! 🙂

You must have really had the power to slow the mind in order to remember such an occurrence.
