If you feel like slowing down today, then do it! Who cares if people are pushing you to meet a deadline? You'll be amazed at how much extra time you can buy yourself simply by asking for it. People want to help you out more than they want you to comply. Don't rush ahead when you really want to take your time. You'll not only end up creating a sub-par product, but you won't enjoy the process. It's not about the destination this time; it is all about the journey.
