In our fast-paced world, where speed and instant results often steal the spotlight, there’s a quiet but great virtue that often goes unnoticed—the courage to go slow. It may sound abnormal, but instead of rushing to implement (实施), we need to slow down. This is particularly relevant when we start the journey of developing instructional strategies.
Start, add and abandon habits. Understand that habit formation takes time and requires testing, reflecting, and adapting. Set systems that focus you and your team and organization on the implementation and impact on a few key practices.
Push consistency over intensity. Focus on maintaining consistent effort rather than pushing for rapid, unsustainable changes.
Seek support. Surround yourself with individuals who support your journey and value the importance of patience. Lean on their encouragement during challenging times.
Admittedly, it takes courage to welcome the wisdom of going slow in this competitive world.
