Things that make you hurry:

A tiger running behind youDeadlines jumping about in front of youPersonal Trainers running alongside you as you runThe voice of the neighbours in your ear saying that you'll never amount to anythingThe fear of God injected into your bonesA full bladderSugar in your bloodstreamPins being poked into a voodoo dollSeveral big guys flicking your ass with wet napkinsBeing a horse with a bad-tempered cowboy wearing spurs on your backHaving injections of some undetectable drug in your system as you run for Olympic goldGetting paid lots of money for a job that's difficult but satisfyingHaving only eleven minutes to write a chapter.

There - I finished with a minute to spare - yay!
