Do You Prefer Finishing Tasks Early or Working Better Under Pressure?

Tweet

I've realised that I'm definitely someone who likes to finish my work well before the deadline. If I know I have an important task due in a few days, I feel much more relaxed if I can complete it early. That way, I have enough time to read through it again, make changes if needed and not worry about rushing at the last minute. Of course, life doesn't always go according to plan. There have been times when unexpected things have come up and I've had no choice but to work under pressure. Surprisingly, I've still managed to get everything done. But I have to admit, I don't enjoy that feeling. I find it stressful, and I don't think I produce my best work when I'm racing against the clock. I know quite a few people who actually thrive under pressure. They say the closer the deadline, the more focused and productive they become. I often wonder how they do it because I'd be far too anxious! What about you? Do you like getting your work finished well in advance, or are you someone who works best when the deadline is almost here? Has your approach changed over the years, or have you always been the same?
