It’s like those old cartoons where they would try to “sleep faster”. The cue was the faster breathing cycles.

“When will [task] be done?”
When I told you it would be done.
“But why isn’t it done now?”
Because it’s not when I told you it would be done yet.
“Well, you need to hurry up and do it faster, because we need it right away.”
Great! But you standing here arguing with me about it is now actively preventing me from getting it done. It will be done when it’s done, which will now be about 20 minutes later than it would have been before you came over here and started shooting your mouth off about it.
