I love this topic! It comes up regularly in my drawing classes, usually with a student (or 5) saying, "I'm so slow! I only got this small amount done today" in our 3-hour class. I encourage them, as you are here, to detach their notions of achievement or what's "better" from time or speed. If you're engaged in the creative process and learning from it, who cares how long it takes? But it's challenging to shift out of the cultural biases we're so deeply trained in.
I think a lot about "spaciousness of mind" which, to me, means having the mental openness to consider ideas without pressure to fit them into the plan (which leads to the schedule, which leads to the hurry). Would it be ridiculous to put "time for spaciousness" into my planner?

I know, right? What am I hurrying for?
