The answer is not to let the pressure get to you, and how you do this will depend to large extent on where the pressure is coming from.

One quite common form of pressure is having tasks coming your way far too close together - you have hardly got to grips with a problem before another one lands in your in-tray. If you just stop Task A and start on Task B, then Task C and so on, you will never finish anything and the pressure will only get worse. The solution is to finish one task before starting another - except when the second task makes the first one unnecessary.

So it means we cannot do multitasking. At some point, we really need to do tasks one step at a time. However, some companies require their employees to be flexible and can do other things at the same time. I am sure it will be overwhelming to handle these tasks in one sitting.

As long as you are able to switch from parts of one task to parts of another one and back again, so that both are completed on time, that sounds fair enough. My problem is (or was, when I was in full-time employment) being expected to drop Task A to concentrate on Task B, which in turn could not be completed before Task C turned up. That sort of scenario is what leads to stress.

I got your point. The worst scenario that I had experienced this when still working with the local government. I must say that they are not organized in doing their tasks. At some point, I prefer to work with non-government organizations (NGOs) instead.

To be honest it is very difficult to work under pressure.working under pressure can lead to poor performance, low productivity and low business profits.

This can also cause less innovative ideas which could play a big role in the company's productivity and performance

I do agree with you. However, some companies prefer to hire people who can work under pressure without supervision.

I do agree with what you are saying, companies like employees who can complete their work within the required deadline and that's possible but the problem will be of low quality products or services

That's the big challenge. Some companies are quite so demanding when hiring people. If these people are not meeting the requirements with poor performance, the company will just let them go.

Yes I do try as much as possible to be composed and make decisions which I know will not affect me negatively. This is because when under pressure, you can make worse decisions which will hsv bad consequences in the long run.

It is nice that you can make yourself calm as much as possible. If you are freaking out under the spell of pressure, you may not work effectively or things will worsen based on being stressed out under pressure.

I don´t like to work under preassure, apart from the  fact that I become a mess, it´s very difficult for me to concentrate under preassure, I need calm to be able to think things through at work calmly. I never choose jobs that expose me to stressful situations.

I must say yes. I was trained to be one and need to be accurate in doing my respective tasks in all my former companies up to this date.

Yes, some employees can cope up with pressure at work by learning how to use pressure relief devices, which can help employees feel less pressure during pressure relief periods. Additionally, some employees may choose to take breaks during a pressure relief period to allow their minds to rest.
