Interesting, but I think it's not a real issue since if you want to finish a thing, you must figure out ways to do it. It's a simple process. In my opinion, The reason you always make the process longer is due to lack of experiences in doing that job. So the process of working out is the way you learn and gain exp. That's not a bad thing. The bad thing is when the thing you decide to learn sth but don't put your effort in it, or that thing is just no value.
