accelerate
Increase your pace
To accelerate is to increase in speed or cause something to go faster.
A car accelerates when you press the gas pedal; a process accelerates when it picks up pace: The company accelerated its hiring plans.
In physics, acceleration includes any change in velocity—speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.
Figuratively, anything that hastens progress accelerates it: Social media accelerated the spread of the news.
