Speed Matters: Why Working Quickly Is More Important Than It Seems
It's important to do things fast: You learn more per unit time because you make contact with reality more frequently. Going fast makes you focus on what's important; there's no time for bullshit.

Speed matters: Why working quickly is more important than it seems
The obvious benefit to working quickly is that you'll finish more stuff per unit time. But there's more to it than that. If you work quickly, the cost of doing something new will seem lower in your mind. So you'll be inclined to do more.
Part of the activation energy required to start any task comes from the picture you get in your head when you imagine doing it. It may not be that going for a run is actually costly; but if it feels costly, if the picture in your head looks like a slog, then you will need a bigger expenditure of will to lace up.
