The boss is screaming at you for last month's time sheet. You have a report to finish off before the monthly departments heads meeting. The telephone won't stop ringing. The pressure is mounting and bingo! Your computer crashes big time!
Above all else when something unexpected happens or something goes wrong the golden rule always is not to panic. You would be suprised how easily and quickly we put ourselves under pressure and exaserpate the situation merely by overreacting to time constraints or other external pressures. And it is almost a racing certainty that something will go awry when you are under the greatest pressure in the first place.
Most problems are relatively straightforward and are solved reasonably quickly. The trick is to take the pressure away from the situation in order to allow the solution to be applied thoroughly and properly. Sometimes a workaround is required so long as it is understood that this is indeed just what it says. A workaround and not the solution to the original problem. When eveything is done and dusted you will wonder what all the fuss was about.
