Problems with rushing things

I always have problems when someone tries to rush me.

I am liable to forget what I am doing, work shoddily and inaccurately whenever I am hurried.  I am capable of working very accurately when time is not important.

This causes problems at work, especially when being pestered by a manager to finish and get results.  This then causes stress and anxiety.

With a new task at work it can take a couple of months to really get the hang of it.  And with any task it takes an hour or so to get into the swing of things in the morning.

My school reports, especially with metalwork and woodwork were that I was very slow (it took me three months to do a mortice and tenon joint in woodwork, we only had two hours a week so a lot of that time was taking stuff out and putting it back), and that my work was not good.  Nowadays I don't mind making things with wood although there is little use for joints, just a few screws and glue, but any work like that I do in my own time when necessary, and I can turn out a cupboard or a shelf (not from prepack) quite well.

However, I can answer trivia questions in an instant, and do sums in my head that others struggle with on a calculator, and even remember conversations nearly verbatim.  I think the problems are due to overload and delayed processing, when rushing my brain has trouble sorting the process out and this causes inaccuracy and forgetfulness.

That sounds a lot like me - expect for getting the hang of new tasks.
