Have you ever known a worker who can't handle pressure and stress? I have. As long as the worker was given ample time to perform the task at work, the worker was fine. But as soon as anyone put pressure on him to finish the task sooner, the worker would 'fall apart.'
In other words, the person would lose his focus and start making mistakes. There are many workers who can't handle stress or pressure. They don't deliberately make mistakes. Their focus is lost and they cannot push aside the stress and focus on the job.
Many workers have a tough time leaving their personal problems at home when they go to work. They let their personal problems distract them. They fail to focus on their current task and consequently their productivity drops and so does the quality of their work.
Sometimes it's something a worker hears on the news. I remember when the second United Nations tower was struck by a plan on 9/11. I was so upset and shocked by this horrible terrorist act, I could not focus on what I was doing.
But some people can't focus for other reasons; reasons that would not distract most workers. The key to holding one's focus is the ability to push other issues aside.
At one place at work, a worker asked me why I'm was not upset at the new company policy. I told him that if I allow myself to get upset, I won't get my job done.
When a worker is under a lot of pressure to get the task done, the key word is relax and focus on the task. If the worker thinks about the deadline constantly, the worker will not complete the task on time. If the worker gets frustrated, the worker will not complete the task on time. The worker should stay calm and focus on the task at hand.
