Are you insanely slow? Don’t have enough time?
I don’t think so if you are slow doesn’t mean you are not smart. Your processing speed has nothing to do with a personal knowledge. Maybe, slow process consumes a lot of time. Imagine if you are fast with every work you do and has a good processing speed, then what? you will be tempted to waste the rest of the time in a meaningless pleasure. The world nowadays lot of things to distract us and separate us to break us than unite us.
“I am a slow walker but I never walk back”. ~Abraham Lincoln.
Don’t worry too much if you are slow compared to others, you have survived a long time and did your best to keep up with the speedy guys! So all you need to do is work hard and have a will to fight back without giving up. There is a reason why you are here! There is, find it! Don’t settle for average. Those who fight for a reason tend to win than the person who fights for success! You have all the resources available to become better than who you are right now.
What is a slow processing?
If slow processing has nothing to do with ones ability to acquire knowledge then what is slow processing really mean? It is the rate at which you intake the information. The information processing speed, just like a computer processor to process a certain task but completing the task eventually. Let me enlighten you.
“Just because a computer is slow, doesn’t mean it is incapable. This is so true with human beings, just because you are slow doesn’t mean you are incapable”. ~Motivational leaf
when you take up information you understand what was said but the way you understand determines the speed. Now, that you are clear that slow processing has nothing to do with intelligence. It’s time you start working on your goals however big they may be, I said right now because you are slow. Don’t wait for the time to be right, it will never be right. There is no promised future for anybody. Nothing is certain so work now. I have another good news for slowpokes.
Following are the merits of being a slow processing person.
- Perfection! – When you work with a slow pace you tend to bathe in your work and get saturated with it, absolutely avoiding any chance for leaving out any information!
“Perfection is attained by slow degree; it requires a hand of time”. ~Voltaire.
- No Regrets – This is quite true we regret a lot for wasting most of our time, but with slow processing, we work more time than others and that satisfies our heart. so we naturally have low regrets.
“Time is an ally for slow workers, to them regrets are fools speech” ~Motivational leaf.
- Discipline – Working for a long time means they are okay with any schedule and adversity, so they have a stiff plan and a good discipline to begin with. Whereas the person who completes his work faster can’t fit into that schedule!
Reasons behind slow processing!
There are various reasons for slow processing, but some are more common reasons for falling into one of them.
1. Fear and Anxiety :
When you have something to fear you keep thinking about it and doubting yourself over and over again, that generally depletes your speed. May be your fear is about being late or doing things slow…….but, to add fuel to fire your fear and stress make your brain sloppy to slow yourself down even more. The same with the Anxiety the pain of loss or any distress in your mind breaks your concentration and you tend to become slow.
2. Over confidence :
Being confident is one thing, but being overconfident is dangerous. These people believe life will work out on its own and always try their best to stay calm at all times. Coolly headed freaks, they have nothing in them so they look for a moment to shine. Your true coolness is when you overcome every obstacle without giving up and having the politeness of being a human.
3. Medical reasons :
Some of the common medical disorders like ADHD, dyslexia and dyscalculia etc. cause a slow processing mind. So, there is not much you can do about this, I suggest that better consult a doctor to find a cure.
4. Day Dreamers :
They are hyperactive people with most processing speed, but spend their time on imagination and dreams things without having a focusing point. They, In spite of being hyperactive, are generally slow processors. But when the time comes these people have the ability to cast away the dreaming mindset and get works completed.
Effects of Slow processing and its demerits :
- Take a lot of time to complete the work, so you tend to miss out a lot of fun.
- An odd one among your peers, most people think slow processing people are not bright! so they avoid a friendly relationship cause they believe they are smarter. Which in most cases is wrong!
- Even though you have attained perfection, it is meaningless without completing the work on time.
- You tend to lose your nerve too often and need to be super motivated all the time.
- If you not a positive person, you will most likely feel Anxiety, fear, doubts and pain.
