Slow Down

I've been quite stuck recently and been trying to brute force solutions in a very inefficient way.

However with the recent viral release of OpenClaw, the market is shifting again, and it's forcing me to take a step back and re-evaluate the situation, insteadly of mindlessly charging ahead.

This reminds me of the old Navy Seal saying "slow is smooth, smooth is fast." In particular, the importance of slowing down during chaotic situations.

I felt very guilty taking a few days off the day to day work that I was (unhappily) stuck in, but after a few days of exploration with OpenClaw and expanding my mind with new mental models, I definitely feel it was the right choice.

Without taking that step back and looking at the market again, I would have been running off in the wrong direction, compounding the existing problem.

I need to remind myself to slow down more often.
