Why should you work under pressure? Why not make your work fun instead of taking work as a pressure? You will be under pressure due to a couple of things, such as the deadline is near, you are overwhelmed with a lot of assignments, you have no skills or knowledge to perform the job, you have some health issues, you are experiencing a mental block, etc. When there is work-related pressure, a lot of people fail to deliver their best even though they might be very good at doing the job. Interestingly, some people tend to perform better under pressure, they kind of give their best when they are pressurized.

Well as you have stated pressure at work can come from anything from late deadline to having to complete tasks very fast. but whatever be the case it is always good to first find out where the pressure is coming from to tackle it squarely before it becomes overwhelming. like I stated before it it is about meeting deadlines then the way out will always be to start the tasks on time. This will help to reduce pressure of over working yourself because you have a deadline to meet. I noticed that some of this comes from one procrastinating for a while. To limit pressure work when you should to meet up with the tasks.
