Found this piece on Medium, love the Acronym:
S L O W
When you feel hurried or rushed, just S.L.O.W. down.
S. — See that you are rushing.
You’re feeling a little stressed and hurried, like you should be pushing harder to get through whatever you’re doing right now.
See that. Notice it. Recognize it.
L. — Live that moment.
What are you doing at that exact moment? Stop thinking about what it is that you want to get to (you want this project out of the way, you want to get home faster), and just live in the moment.
Experience and focus on what’s in front of you.
O. — Open awareness.
As you continue doing what you’re doing, pay attention to what thoughts and feelings cross your mind. If you keep feeling rushed, just be aware of it without judging that feeling. If you need to, repeat the S. & L. steps to calm down. Then keep an open awareness, notice what crosses your mind, and recognize these thoughts without judging them.
W. — Wait.
After you’ve finished what you’re doing, take a few minutes to wait and relax before moving onto anything else. Even if you take your time on one project, jumping to a new project immediately after is still rushing, in its own way. Take some time to wait between tasks. Drink a glass of water, watch the sky…whatever you need to do. Just relax.
After a few minutes, if you’re feeling calm and unhurried, slowly move on to whatever else you need to do, and enjoy that process as well.
I'll pause here, breathe, and put FLAW in a new post. R
