Working under tight deadlines and varied environments tend to be a motivating factor for you. You can use this to your advantage by integrating yourself into highly active roles, with high pressure deadlines. Team members and managers will appreciate you being able to deliver sooner than expected and you may find a controlled increase in pressure makes the work more stimulating. Take on projects and clients which others may find a bit too taxing, as you are able to handle the workload. You are consistently "on the move" suggesting you enjoy the high energy work.

When anticipating periods of large workloads and busy days, try to pre-plan as much as possible. Even incremental preparations (meal preparations, pre-scheduling the delegation of tasks, anticipation of issues, etc.) could reduce the amount of required energy enough so that it is not a negative experience. While you enjoy high-activity environments, communication about upcoming workloads can help to prepare and anticipate potential issues or activity levels required.

Setting clear but reasonable boundaries in terms of working hours, number of projects, deadlines and overall expectations with your supervisor and team members could improve your levels of stress. However, it may be a good idea to occasionally go beyond those boundaries to show others your ability to exceed expectations and help inoculate you to times when high activity levels are necessary.

  • Are there clear expectations of your deliverables?
  • Can you increase activity level when required without additional stress?
