Decide to kick it whenever you're on short-time. Put on a fast-paced Ventures tune or the like and put your hinny in high gear and get'er done! Work, study, or housekeeping, etc., can be expanded outwards to fill a void. I find that if I really want to get done quicker I can, IF I put my mind to it.
Some times even after I've decided to KICK IT I'll find I've slipped back into low gear unmindfully and I have to re-escalate my efforts. Lots of times we are just in 'low-slow' gear for no real reason.
Kick-it-up a notch and try to do some speed_____ 'whatever'. Time and Compete with yourself. Beat your own records, reward yourself in some positive way when you meet a shaved timing goal.
Make it a game where you are the winner!
