A situation that is classified as having pressure is when a lot is expected to be done in very limited time space. Sometimes one s given little time to do the work but in some instances others invite pressure into their lives but procrastinating issues they know will be called for in due course. Pressure has its own advantages. It is important to note that there are people who crumble when pressure comes. They have a fear or being under pressure. Their minds freeze at the onset of pressure or where decisions have to be made quick. I am the opposite of that. I work best under pressure. Below are some of the advantages or benefits of pressure.

Sometimes when there is no pressure, preparation and planning are not necessarily effectively tested. How prepared were you for the exam. When the date comes close we are able to test that easily by observing your level of anxiety.
