*Edit: I checked some of the stuff more out in detail. While some concepts on this are valid and backed up by sience, others like RSD are not. Use this as a springboard for learning, not as a valid source in itself. Yes it says so in the corner already. But spelling it out might help.

People are more complicated then a diagram from the internet. Never forget that.

Literal emergencies will fall into that category as well, but it is broader than just the stuff ER-people do for a living.

These are things like:

  • being able to go from asleep to ready and out the door in under 5 minutes if the reason to do so is important enough.
  • remaining calm and levelheaded when everyone around is panicking over something.
  • deciding on a strategy and executing it flawlessly in response to any sudden change.
  • and yes, doing homework last minute and still getting acceptable grades for it also counts.

Basically, if you get into a mental state of immediate urgency, your executive function runs on adrenaline alone. And suddenly you're better than ever before at just. getting. stuff. done. - but not for very long.
