3 Powerful Ways to Stop Doing Things in a Hurry

Do you also want to stop doing things in a hurry but fail again and again?
You are not alone.

Many women like us try to do everything — cooking, cleaning, office work, kids, home, planning — all at the same time. And in this fast life, we forget one thing:

We are not machines.
We are human beings.

For years, I lived in “hurry mode.”
Every task felt like a race.
And I thought rushing would save time.

For years, I used to do everything fast.
Cooking, cleaning, working, even talking.
I thought I was saving time… but I was actually losing more.

Especially in the kitchen:

  • I added extra salt
  • I added extra turmeric
  • Then I spent more time fixing it
  • And felt irritated the whole day

Slowly I understood one truth of life:

Harbadi me gadbadi hoti hi hoti hai.
And the time we think we are saving… we end up wasting.

My Real-Life Mistakes (Maybe You’ll Relate)

When I rushed:

  • I added extra salt or extra turmeric in cooking.
  • Things slipped from my hands or fell from the table — even in the office, and this happened very frequently.
  • Then I spent more time fixing those mistakes
  • And felt irritated whole day

I used to think:
“Why do I always hurry? Why can’t I stay calm?”

And during this phase, I also struggled with staying calm when people judged me.
Reading this helped me a lot:

Then I understood:
It was not a cooking or work problem.
It was a mind overload problem.

My mind was full of 10 thoughts at one time, and my hands were running without attention.


Why Multitasking Women Rush

We live in hurry mode because:

  • Too many responsibilities
  • Too many thoughts
  • Fear of getting late
  • Pressure to do everything perfectly
  • Habit of thinking ahead
  • No mental pause in the day

This creates:

❌ Restlessness
❌ Extra work
❌ Mistakes
❌ Stress
❌ Zero peace
❌ Same work taking double time

The goal is not to slow your life —
The goal is to calm your mind.
