Practice the gesture of rushing in this way:
Decide to do something. Then, do it considerably more quickly than you are used to. Play right up to, but not over, the edge of changing what-you're-doing and changing how-you're-doing-it.
Yes, this is a game of language and description naming. If you are "drinking some komboucha" so quickly that you end up actually "spilling komboucha all over your beard", you're over the line. But if you're "emptying a cup of komboucha", this is fine, though it may create the task "suck komboucha out of your shirt" moments later.
Don't worry too much about actual efficiency yet, just the gesture of rushing.
Clean your room this way!

and yet the room is yet uncleaned.
the more general name for this type of exercise is Add-a-Criterion
where a criterion is an additional piece of language to consider while doing anything
look rushed
look embarrassed
pesante
pay attention to your dance (tried this last night at FedEx
distractedly
in waves of acceleration and deceleration
as if the gravity is turned up
pay attention only with peripheral vision and furtive glances
softly count the number of objects you touch/times you blink/
these each warrant at least an hour of practice.
