overhastily

With reckless speed

Overhastily means with excessive haste or speed, acting too quickly without sufficient thought or care.

The word suggests rushing in a way that leads to mistakes or poor judgment: She overhastily accepted the first offer without negotiating.

It carries a note of criticism—not just fast, but *too* fast.
