“One way I counter [a] tendency to rush is by sketching.
“… sketching is an act of seeing more closely. In choosing to sketch something, you pay attention to details you otherwise may have missed. It forces you to slow down and observe more intently, and engage with your surroundings in a new way.”

It takes less time to snap a photo than it does to open a sketchbook and pick up your pencil. You’ve slowed down before you’ve even made the first mark.
Perfect start to my day. Thank you
Sketching has taught me to really notice, pay attention and focus on the details of nature that the unaware individual will probably
never bother to experience. It is also a lesson in patience.
