I tend to thrive under pressure more because I know I have deadlines to meet and I start getting more creative and focused on the work at hand. If I am not under pressure to get things done, it will take me much longer to do the things I need to get done. For example we've got big bulk trash pickup on Monday, and we've got things we need to clear out and have it set outside so we can get rid of it. So my wife and I have been pushing ourselves more to get the decluttering done so we can get these things brought upstairs.
