Thing is, it's sometimes very inconvenient when you are just trying to get something done, but the reality is, what are you rushing for?

In fact it's probably more important than pretty much anything else you have going on. Most of the things we rush to get back to are fleeting and temporary obligations or entertainment that don't have any meaning or value in the bigger picture.
