Seconded. It took me two years to build my current side project, and that's ok. I am no longer 20, I don't have to rush to do everything in an instant.

I also noticed that because of the slower pace I often avoid solving problems that can be bypassed altogether. When working at a frantic pace I'd often notice that I solved a problem that didn't really need solving.

Someone once said 90% of problems go away if ignored. In the 19th century British foreign policy coined a phrase for this approach: "masterly inactivity".
