Yerkes–Dodson Law — The Sweet Spot of Pressure and Effort

Spread the love

Low pressure brings apathy.
High pressure brings breakdown.

Yerkes-Dodson law says
some stress improves performance.
Too much destroys it.

A quiet example

A short notice pushes you to finish the task.
A last-minute firestorm leaves you stuck.

Not because deadlines are evil—
but because balance matters.

Where this shows up

  • In exams
  • In work
  • In performance

Pressure is a tool.
Use it gently.
