1 Plan ahead

One of the best ways to reduce pressure is to plan ahead and anticipate potential problems. Before you start a media production project, make sure you have a clear scope, budget, timeline, and deliverables. Break down the project into manageable tasks and assign roles and responsibilities to your team members. Use tools like calendars, checklists, and project management software to keep track of your progress and communicate with your clients and collaborators. Planning ahead will help you avoid confusion, delays, and mistakes that can increase pressure.

Structure your routine, workflows and team resources to support effective management of news cycles. Plan ahead to the best of your ability, monitor/check in with regular news sources and work in sprints. Seek feedback when necessary, prioritize news, delegate where possible, fact check and have strong boundaries in timely distribution of content. Working in sprints in the morning was constructive for me to then decompress and work on other items in the afternoon was effective for me.

When the clock's ticking, I like to break down the entire production process into bite-sized chunks. It's like tackling a massive burger – you can't devour it in one go, but piece by piece, it becomes manageable.

Plan thoroughly by considering all risks and challenges before you begin. 80% of your effort should go into pre-production and planning. Most importantly, much of that 80% should be your framework (that simple, repeatable, proven process you developed over time). You shouldn't reinvent the wheel for each project. Leave that 20% for creativity and flexibility. Also, pick the right team if you're able to.

Conscious tastes. Food for thought.

Create a timeline and task outline so your goals are easier to meet and visualize. This also helps in prioritizing, which leads you to the formula that works best for the client while still maintaining best practices. Also, believe in a such thing as "best practices". It still exists, even if there are more people cutting corners. Easier said than done, but it's the truth.

2 Prioritize and delegate

Another way to work well under pressure is to prioritize and delegate your tasks according to their urgency and importance. When you have multiple deadlines and demands, you need to focus on the most critical and valuable tasks first and postpone or eliminate the less essential ones. You also need to recognize your strengths and weaknesses and delegate tasks that you are not skilled or confident in to others who can do them better or faster. Prioritizing and delegating will help you optimize your time and energy and reduce your workload and stress.

Prioritizing is a skill worth its weight in gold. When deadlines are looming, you've got to identify the high-priority tasks and tackle them head-on. It's like being a chef in a bustling kitchen – you focus on the dishes that need to hit the table first, and then worry about the garnishes later.

3 Stay calm and focused

Working under pressure can affect your mood, motivation, and performance. It can make you feel anxious, frustrated, or overwhelmed. To work well under pressure, you need to stay calm and focused on your goals. You can use techniques like breathing exercises, meditation, or positive affirmations to relax your mind and body and cope with negative emotions. You can also avoid distractions like social media, emails, or phone calls that can interrupt your flow and concentration. Staying calm and focused will help you think clearly and creatively and solve problems effectively.

4 Seek feedback and support

Working under pressure can also be an opportunity to learn and improve your skills. To work well under pressure, you need to seek feedback and support from your clients, colleagues, mentors, or peers. Feedback can help you identify your strengths and areas for improvement and adjust your strategies and actions accordingly. Support can help you cope with the challenges and difficulties and share your ideas and experiences. Seeking feedback and support will help you grow as a media production professional and build trust and rapport with your network.

5 Take breaks and reward yourself

Working under pressure can be exhausting and demanding. To work well under pressure, you need to take breaks and reward yourself for your achievements. Breaks can help you recharge your batteries, refresh your mind, and prevent burnout. You can take breaks by doing some physical activity, listening to music, reading a book, or chatting with a friend. Rewards can help you celebrate your milestones, boost your morale, and motivate you to keep going. You can reward yourself by treating yourself to something you enjoy, like a meal, a movie, or a gift. Taking breaks and rewarding yourself will help you maintain your health and happiness and enjoy your media production work.

This guide is definitely important in collaboration with business and organization clients who pay for video production -- to be able to communicate what they want included in their video about themselves. To have a budget and schedule that coordinates with theirs. This makes it easier for mutual satisfaction about the end result -- a video asset that promotes their business corporation or nonprofit organization to the public. The value of information to attract viewers and convert to become customers!
