Slow down.
In any endeavour, mastering the fundamentals is essential. To achieve top speed, the basics must be deeply rooted in both your mind and hand.
Have you heard the saying that sometimes to progress, you must take a step back?
Retreat, hell! We're not retreating; we're just advancing in a different direction. - General Oliver P. Smith
Indeed, in the shorthand realm, we often fixate on conquering the next speed barrier. However, attempting this without a solid foundation leads to frustration. Your reflexes and determination may propel you forward for a time, but eventually, your speed will stagnate.
Here's a secret: Temporarily reducing your pace will NOT hinder your speed.
You're in control. Each drill and practice session should enhance your skills in some way. While speed is an important element, a true master recognises the value of slowing down to refine problem areas and ensure clarity.
Rule #1: Don't lose your clarity
You cannot improve until you work on your faults. And you cannot work on your faults at maximum speed.
So slow down. Rest assured, your speed will remain intact when you return to swifter execution. That's a promise.
