: Time and work pressure

Discuss whether you recognize the following statements:

• We do not set aside enough time to carry out the various tasks. It is especially challenging when something unforeseen happens.
• We experience time pressure when we have to solve many tasks at the same time.
• We often don't have time to do all the tasks we need to do during the day, and sometimes we have to prioritize important tasks or postpone deadlines.
• There are too few people at work – we run from one thing to the other all day and rarely have time to take a lunch break.
• We do not have the opportunity to call in extra staff in case of need or illness, and there is sometimes too much work pressure on those who are at work.
• At times, we are so busy that our own safety or the safety of others is compromised.
• We experience pressure from others to finish the work quickly.
• It is difficult to influence the workload, content and pace of our work because it is largely governed by deadlines and the needs of our customers.
• We often work beyond planned working hours, because there is too much to do.
• We are often stressed in our work. It makes us less patient and generous to each other, and sometimes there is a bit of a tense atmosphere.
