Time pressure

Time pressure refers to the feeling of being forced to complete tasks within a limited period. It occurs when deadlines are tight or when there’s a sense that there’s not enough time to do everything thoroughly. This can lead to increased stress, hurried decision-making, and potentially lower quality work. While some level of time constraint can boost focus and productivity, excessive pressure may cause mistakes, anxiety, and fatigue. Managing time pressure involves prioritizing tasks, planning ahead, and maintaining realistic expectations to balance efficiency with quality.
