scrubbing in timeline is too fast.

My #1 biggest issue with Premiere Pro is how fast the timeline moves when I put my pointer past the timeline on the left or right.  I am generally just trying to move my pointer to the next cut, but I end up flying two minutes down the timeline and then I have no idea where I was at.  When I can remember, I will carefully move my mouse to the edge of the timeline which will move the timeline slower. But it's always hard to remember that when I am cutting quickly. 

Has anyone figured out a way to slow down the scrubbing?  Slowing down the mouse speed in the Mac preferences does not work.  Thanks.
