1. The Clock-Slave: you are either begging for the clock to speed up or slow down.
2. The Time Tracker: some find it an excellent way of ensuring they stay on track. But when combined with excessive time pressure, it becomes unhealthy.
3. The Smart Breaker: you use like the Pomodoro technique or the Ultradian rhythms.
4. The Free Spirit: you opt for a more spontaneous and free life, and avoid keeping a rigid schedule at all costs.
5. The Enlightened One: you understand that scarcity of time is an illusion. That enemy does not exist.

When you are time-pressured, you see time as a precious and scarce resource. This triggers a stress response, which can improve motivation in the short term, but often at the expense of morale in the long term. And an unhappy worker is a less productive worker. With lower productivity, there is even more time pressure to get things done.

And on goes the cycle.
