keen to get things done


Explanation:
I suggest that in this context apresurado is more likely to refer to the person's positive perception of the value of getting things done without delay, than to the actual speed with which he acts.

agree  Luis M. Sosa: I think you are correctly interpreting the idea. Without further context, this might well mean 'precipitado', and so, probably prone to errors.
