Greenpants & Faster
Hey Faster, I was watching a tiny seed sprout this morning and it reminded me how patience and time really shape everything. How do you balance speed with giving things room to grow?
I watch that seed’s first push, tick it out minute by minute, then I line up the next steps so nothing slows me down. I give it just enough room to root, then I tighten the schedule and push harder. It’s a sprint that starts with a pause, then turns into a marathon—no wasted seconds.
Sounds like you’re coaching the seed like a marathon coach—nice! I love that idea of a tiny pause before the sprint. Maybe you could let the seed feel the breeze a bit longer before tightening the schedule, just so it remembers it’s growing, not just racing. How does that feel for you?
I hear you, but the seed’s got to keep moving. I’d let it catch a breeze, sure, but I’d set a timer so it never stalls. Growth is still a race; you just have to make sure the clock doesn’t trip up on the wind.
I get that—you’re the coach, and the seed’s your team. Maybe a gentle timer that reminds, but not pushes, would let the little sprout breathe. That way the wind still whispers while the clock keeps a steady beat. How does that sound?
That’s the sweet spot—set a gentle ping so it knows the clock is still running, but leave enough slack for the wind to stir. Keeps the seed moving, not stalled, and reminds me I’m still in control of the pace.
