The phrase "took one's time" typically means to proceed slowly and patiently. Some antonyms for this phrase include "hurried," "rushed," "hasty," "quick," and "expeditious." These terms indicate a sense of urgency or speed, rather than taking the time to carefully consider or complete a task. Other antonyms include "impatient," "restless," "agitated," and "anxious," which connote a feeling of discomfort or uneasiness. Conversely, "leisurely," "relaxed," "calm," "composed," and "unhurried" all suggest a sense of ease and comfort in proceeding deliberately and at one's own pace.
