Do you work well with pressure or not?

I think it depends on each individual of what personality and character they have. People born with different personality and character that is why it also reflects different motivation in attaining goal. Like what you said about pressure. Some people make it as a motivation because they like challenge and so, its fine with them if they feel pressure too much, but some people don't like it because they knew being pressure will just makes them feel nervous and it would be hindrance for their motivation that is why they fail.

I must admit that I work well with pressure, as it motivates me. But I like to feel free, so the pressure has to be internal, in other words, it has to come from myself! If I feel pressured then my reaction can be the opposite!

Being pressured can make the adrenaline rush, especially if you are in deadline. It is so precious to have the time payed off after accomplishing the tasks. Some people cannot stand with the pressure.

I do not like to work under pressure. I like it when I have my own space and allowed to work at my own pace without a reasonable limit of time. Plus you cannot give your best performance if you are doing your job under pressure.

Thank you for post this discussion. I really don't like pressure. I think a person could lose his activity under pressure. And also, pressure really can make a person ill. Pressure contributes to a lot of disease. But , maybe someone like pressure. Anyway, under certain pressure,you have enough motivation.

At first I thought I did not, but then I realize that I work well with pressure. In fact, I think I work better with pressure. For example, when there is a deadline, I work faster and harder because I know that I have to meet the deadline. Or if I am working on a hard case, I do more research. When I have a strict boss, I become more careful. Not only is it, as you say, motivation, but also a realization that I have standards to keep and aspire to. I guess some people will agree with me that standards become more lax and work becomes slower when there is no pressure. :)

It really depends on what is going on under pressure. If it is a job, I can work under pressure and succeed. As I have done many times because I know the outcome or what to expect. Usually, being under pressure pushy me to do better

I do not work well uunder pressuse. A reasonable deadline is helpful to keep me motivated, but when uunder actual pressure, I don't get anything done.

I can work well under pressure provided no one has to supervise me constantly while I am finishing the task because I wouldn't be able to concentrate by then.

I normally do work better under pressure, usually time constraints. If I am given too much time to do anything, I end up wasting it but when it gets to the last minute I hop into full gear and get super focused. I don't work well under the pressure of being observed. I tend to freeze up and make many mistakes.

I hate to work under pressure. That is why I'm at home working online. Working online, you can choose when to work and what you want to do.

It depends on what work I'm doing. If the work is unfamiliar, I don't think I'll work well under pressure. If I've done the work before, I think I'll be fine under pressure. Although of course, it will also depend on the nature of work. For example, it's a heart surgery. You're doing the surgery, and you're having a headache at the same time. Assuming that I've already done heart surgery before, I still won't do the job since the person's life depends on it. I'll let other doctors take it instead.

It depends. Sometimes I work excellently with pressure because I know there is little time. But sometimes I don't work well.

I hate pressures. I lose my control whenever I am in pressure. But sometimes, I see to it that I make myself calm so I can still think properly on what to do. But it's really difficult because it can disturb your senses and concentration.

Sometimes pressure makes me want to work faster or harder to get something done and other times if it's too much pressure, I tend to mess up. I finally learned to go slower to go faster. (if that makes any sense)

I guess to me it would depend on what kind of pressure? If it's pressure to get a lot done in a certain amount of time, I'm not that good. If my boss is standing around me, I do all right because I know what my job consists of. I do it even if the boss is watching me.

I worked under pressure, it boost my adrenaline to finish the task on time. I guess I am more on the challenging part. Good day!

Pressures are always present at work and it depends on us how we face or handle it. If we take it as a challenge then it would be good but if we take it as a mess or something makes our task more in trouble then it is bad for us. Yes, pressure is a good motivation, a hindrance to work well sometimes. It will make us not on focus sometimes.. It is about the person how he handles pressure.

Hi jvincent, i agree with your view that some people do work excellently with pressure. Well, different people take pressure at a different level. To some, a little request is a pressure to them due to their lack of confidence and inexperience. To some, bigger challenge is consider as a minor pressure because they can withstand and handle their so-called pressure with confidence. Pressure usually arises in circumstances whereby it plays a part in whether or not you will achieve your goals, right? Pressure is the Pressure is the feeling you get the moment you set a deadline on your goals. In short, a goal is a dream with a deadline. Some people dislike pressure because it makes them uncomfortable and uneasy. They prefer life without pressure, and easy going. On the one hand, it is good because pressure in long term distorts our health. However, without pressure, there is no force to move us to act, and a dream without deadline is just forever a dream that will never happen. Think about those situations where you had to perform under pressure. The only reason you felt that pressure was because you had to do something within a certain amount of time. Pressure is something that you can handle if you know what to do. Think about it, when you freeze up under pressure, it usually means that you do not have confidence in performing the task at hand in the amount of time that you are given to perform it. In order to deal with pressure, there is one thing you need to do. You need to get confident. To work well with pressure, you need confidence. To have confidence is simply by being prepared. For example, when you have done something repeatedly, your level of belief in yourself rises. As your confidence rises, your ability to deal with pressure will also rise. Nevertheless, this does not mean you will not feel any pressure. It just means you will be able to act despite of the pressure. Once you get use to working under pressure, you may start to actually like it because it helps you take immediate action. I put myself under pressure every time I set a goal because I know if I do not, I will tend to delay taking the necessary actions in order to accomplish the goal. Usually setting a deadline is enough to put enough pressure on me to make it work. Sometimes I find that I need to "up the ante", meaning to put more at risk in order to increase the pressure, which causes me to take immediate action. The reason I am able to do this is because I am used to working under these conditions, and the reason for that is because I have this so many times. In dealing with pressure, it all comes down to building confidence in yourself and your abilities through lots of practice performing under pressure. Put pressure on yourself to perform at a high level because when the time comes to perform on the public stage, you will be able to feed from it instead of freeze from it. All the best! Have a good day! =)

i hate working under pressure its make me angry.
