Have you ever rushed something and messed it up?

Most times, when I rush around trying to get things done at last minute, I make lots of mistakes. This usually happens when I'm making dinner at the last minute. I'll run around trying to get everything done and then get distracted and burn the food cause I'm busy doing something else. Do you ever get so busy that you rush around and end up messing up everything?

I work well under pressure. When I know what I'm doing, doing it last minute can help make it better. Being rushed puts me in the mood to do well. Being unmotivated is what makes me do a sloppy job!

Not getting paid is the thing that makes me unmotivated!

I meant to say I work well under pressure, but someone beat me to it LOL It is true though I get things done quicker and better when im in a rush. I've always been like that even at shool, if I studied the last minutes I cold remember everything, but when I started sooner it just didnt work. Not that i always rush lol, but I do operate better under the pressure :)

I think this is very common. Some people do their best job when put on the spot. While others procrastinate and then really miss it up.
