To Pace Yourself

1. So you don't get a stomach ache.
2. Because rushing can lead to making mistakes more easily.
3. So that you can help others to learn. A steady pace is better for helping others to learn than one which is too fast or too slow.
4. Because studying doesn't have to be crammed into one night. Make a plan, and work at it. That way, you'll be learning at your own pace.
5. Because Rome wasn't built in a day, and your current project probably won't be either. So don't cause yourself undue stress with unreasonable deadlines.
6. So you won't get hiccups.
7. Because not everything in life can be achieved at a sprint. Some goals take more time, especially if you want them to be completed properly.
8. So you don't get burnt out. It is easy to be consumed by a new skill, entertainment, or a new treat. But obsessing over it might just have the counter-effect of making you come to dislike the thing you once enjoyed.
9. That way your creative juices have a chance to refill your well of imagination.
10. Because a good descriptive scene can turn into a monster of purple prose if you start throwing around flowery words that shimmer in the dazzling glow of your fanciful musings. So please, kill those unnecessary adjectives before they make things murky.
