Commenter responding to Gupta's comparison between school exams and corporate work

“I will just be anxious and I'll panic all the time until Sunday night arrives. And when I have no other option left, only then will I open it, finish just the most urgent things, and shut it down. And I'll just pray, 'God, please just help me pass tomorrow as well somehow. ' Why am I like this?”
