Hurry sickness, coined in the 1985 book “Type A Behavior and Your Heart” isn't an actual medical condition, but it's known as a sense of excessive time urgency. You may constantly feel rushed or anxious and have a feeling of urgency to get things done when there's no need.
Hurry sickness is a mixture of anxiety and restlessness, and is often accompanied by a continual feeling of urgency. Its symptoms include high stress levels, declining quality of work, tiredness, and, eventually, serious health problems.
Depending on our daily activities, 24 hours can be plenty or not enough to do everything. So if we feel overwhelmed by the many tasks we do, time seems insufficient to accomplish everything, so we try to rush to finish as many as possible so we can have time to do the next thing.
Instead of rushing ,slowing down will help you make better decisions, connect deeper with people, have more meaningful experiences, all while improving your mental well-being by avoiding burnout. You may go slower, but you will go further.
Moreover Slowing down helps you live a healthier life, improve your relationships, reduce stress and anxiety, save time, save money, develop deeper experiences, and make better decisions.
