When partners have fundamentally different working rhythms

My co-founder and I both work best at different speeds - she likes to move fast and iterate, I like to think things through - and we've been trying to find a rhythm that works for both of us but every project becomes a subtle negotiation about pace and we're both getting frustrated. I don't think either approach is wrong but we can't seem to blend them.
