Few people really are pressured from the outside. We think we are important, therefore any mistakes we make have tremendous impact on the project or other people. Pressure is really lack of confidence in ourselves. If you are always under pressure, either you are in the wrong job or you are unable to focus on the job at hand without thinking of failure.

Remember, you are not paid to work under pressure; you are paid to add value to the organization. If you are good, just be good and do not let external forces get in your head. If you are not sure, get advise or training so that you can have fun doing your job.

Great tips! I must work well under pressure since I so regularly over commit and then work to meet my commitments. In great part, pressure can drive performance. The level of pressure, however, can also affect performance negatively. I once heard a wise person say “There may be a lot on my plate, but I wouldn’t trade plates with anyone else.”

Pressure is finally necessary for each one of us to give our best. It is the catalyst to success. the question is …. “is the pressure from outside?” or from within? Pressure from within is the driving force, it is the way we think.
Either way, the only way to be able to “Work under pressure” is to build yourself to handle the pressure, which is Building & developing yourself to handle the situations better. the ways to do it are:
1. Physical fitness
2. Mental Toughness
3. Social/Emotional support

I think of pressure as being either external or internal. External pressures are created when you do not have control over the situation. Internal pressures are those we create ourselves. Expectations, hopes, personal goals… these create internal pressures.

Planning and preparation prevent poor performance in pressure situations, especially external pressure situations. Presenting at a prestigious academic conference is stressful. Expectations in terms fo your own expectations and those of the attendees can be difficult to handle.

Being ready. Practicing relentlessly, experience in similar situations, and an honest, achievable goal help alleviate the stress. The pressure is still there, but the emotional fallout or effects are mitigated by experience, preparedness, and realistic performance goals.

I’ve always lived a simple life with very few pressures and responsibilities. On those occasions where certain pressures were involved, I handled them as practically and disinterestedly as possible.

I have dealt with pressure many times, i think that is the right description, it happens to us all, and we somehow have to deal with it. The recommendations you make are excellent. I would highlight the importance of focus, as this will help determine what matters and what does not, what to delegate and what not, etc.
