The term time pressure has firmly entered modern life at the end of the last century. And if earlier it meant time to think about a chess move, now it is more and more often pronounced figuratively. According to the general explanatory dictionary of the Russian language Tolkslovar.ru, in addition to the chess term, time pressure means an acute lack of time.

Instruction manual
1
If the saying "Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today" doesn’t work, make a to-do list starting with the most important. Keep the sequence, do not jump from one to another, in fear of not having time to redo everything. Even if you made just one or two items from the list in a day, rejoice, because these were the most important things.
2
Eat the elephant in parts. Share a lot of work, think through all the details. Instead of sighing and worrying about deadlines, start doing at least something. Gather information, expand sources. Visualize your victory over yourself and over time. Imagine your work done, feel the sensations that you will experience. Keep the image in mind, not forgetting that as a reward you will get not only the satisfaction of your own work, but also the long-awaited vacation.
3
If due to lack of time you are often late, try moving the clock 20-30 minutes ahead. This will help to arrive somewhere on time without unnecessary haste. As a rule, there is often a “creative mess” on the table in time trouble people, so try to keep your mobile phone, keys, wallet, card holder, pen and paper in one place. So you save yourself from unnecessary stressful running around the house.
4
Allow yourself to get enough sleep. Sleep is the best medicine, especially for time trouble people. In a dream, a person gains strength, is distracted from stress and all sorts of "necessary" received in a day. After sleep, performance increases markedly, and the head "gives birth" to more and more new ideas.
5
Do not neglect exercise. Jogging to public transport is the place to be, but it is better to replace it with an easy 10-15-minute jog in the park in a relaxed atmosphere: with your favorite music on the headphones or with a pleasant partner. Even a simple three-minute charge at the workplace will stir up blood, crush bones, fill the brain with oxygen and fresh thoughts.
note
Energy and caffeine should not be the main helpers in achieving results. Taurine contained in energy drinks is best replaced with meat and fish.
Helpful advice
Unlike a single lack of time, which helps to mobilize strength and shake the body, chronic time pressure is dangerous to health. Do not confirm the saying that in the first half of life people earn money neglecting their health, and the whole second half they spend it on treatment. Your goal is not a race, but life itself.
