What is Pushed?

You're being asked for more than is comfortable but you're still delivering. The ask is bigger than the resources — and you're feeling the gap.

When you might feel pushed

Pushed is a specific form of under pressure, which itself is a type of stretched. You might experience this feeling in situations where stretched is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define pushed.
