Passing a challenge without rushing

Is taking longer to pass a prop firm challenge actually better?

It's tempting to reach the profit target as quickly as possible, but rushing can lead to overtrading and unnecessary risk.

I'd rather understand how traders balance progress toward the target with protecting their drawdown.

Do you set a daily profit goal, a maximum number of trades, or simply wait for your best setups? What rules help you avoid forcing trades when the market isn't offering much?
