Whatever you do in haste is not excellent.
Excellent work requires time to contemplate, envision, refine , edit and re-edit, test and trial and improvement.
A good novel is not written in a day. It has to be revised and re-edited many, many times. Even its sentences have to be rephrased to produce a maximum effect on its readers.
Nevertheless, we must bear in mind the time and resource constraint in producing a piece of work. It is pointless to spend years on something that can never be finished e.g. Charles Babbage's 'inference engine'.
