“I do better and get more done when the pressure is on to meet a deadline.”
This is great if you can implement and adhere to your own deadlines.
But often this isn’t the case. Often when people say that, they mean they do better when someone else is applying the pressure and the deadline. Which means ‘doing better and getting more done’ will always hinge on someone else. You’ll always be waiting around for someone else to give you a deadline in order for you to do your best work.

Become the person who can implement and adhere to your own deadlines, so you can do your best work.
Or become the person who does their best work when they go to work.
