That reminds me of the military saying "slow is smooth, smooth is fast".

I like that analogy a lot! I've just realised that the same thing applies to racing, for example. The way I tend to play racing simulators is that I try to go full throttle all the time, and then when I stumble upon sharp turns, I just crash into them, losing much more time than I would if I didn't try to go as fast as I can all the time.

This is actually a thing in real racing, the fastest times through complex curves look slow.
"Slow down to speed up" can capture it, setting aside times for those non-critical maintenance steps that prevent problems or make everything just a little bit faster can make worlds of difference in your work, but never seem to be able to compete with the "next most important" thing on the list.
