I'd like to have speed rather than strategy. I'll give Miss Management a try before re-trying Apprentice LA which gets tough for me quite early on - but I have avoided the boardroom so far!
Do you mean you prefer a game where YOU need to be speedy, more than strategic?
If so, I think you would like Mystic Inn. There is no color matching. The only matching is size of party to table size. Apart from that, it is purely fast and furious clicking.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it. Partly because it looks SO gorgeous. There is a nice story, and the music is good too. (My husband grew to loathe hearing that music start, however.)
Carrie the Caregiver is speedy. You try to match blanket color to crib color, but you only put one baby per crib, so no twirling groups of people around. I suppose there is some strategy involved in keeping your eyes on the babies' hearts, but it's mainly speed. Plus, you can play each level in "training" mode until you get really good at it.
As Sally said, Nanny Mania is also speedy. I LOVED Nanny Mania, it was one of the first games I played. The main strategies are just (1) go through the house and get every piece of laundry and wash the clothes first thing; (2) clean while the family is eating. Let them sit at the table until your time almost runs out if you have to. There is no difficulty level, but if I could play it as a newbie, you certainly could. It looks good, the sounds are fine, and the characters are charming.
Hope that helps,
Margaret

Unless there aren't any real power-ups like Turbo Pizza or Los Angeles.
