We’re talking about expectations to get things done ASAP and as quickly as possible, especially when it comes to our work, but also in many other areas of our lives. We’re going to talk about the negative sides of this type of culture (SPOILER: there are MANY cons to it) and what we can do to set expectations on our side.
