imprudently
In foolish haste
Imprudently means without prudence—carelessly, rashly, or without proper consideration of consequences.
Someone who acts imprudently fails to think ahead or weigh risks: He imprudently invested his savings in a single stock.
The word carries a tone of mild reproach, suggesting the person should have known better.
