Are you good at handling pressure, or do you crumble and fall when pressure is applied to you?
Maybe it depends what type of pressure you’re put under, whether you cope well or not. e.g.
- Pressure at work to get a project/system completed and implemented by a specific deadline
- Pressure in your personal life to do lots of tasks for yourself or others leaving yourself with little time to yourself when you’re not working
I must admit, in some scenarios, such as the first example above, I cope pretty well – I’m told it’s because I’m very organised and therefore able to manage the work to ensure all required tasks are completed on time. However I sometimes don’t cope quite so well when I end up having little “me” to relax and recharge my batteries, but even then it does vary from situation to situation.
How about you, are you a pressure-junkie?
