The "hurry up" culture is unsustainable

Everyone is trying to work faster all the time, and they pressure everyone around them to work faster too. Examples include:

• Loading on extra work.
• Railing against any apparent waste of time.
• Expecting superb performance all the time.

However, speeding up often results in poor decisions that create future problems. We can't force ourselves to make faster decisions just because we're faced with an unrealistic deadline.
