rushed
Done too quickly
Rushed describes something done hastily, without adequate time or care: a rushed job, a rushed decision.
It also describes the feeling of being pressured by time constraints: I felt rushed all morning.
The rushed hour before a deadline differs from the leisurely pace of an unhurried afternoon.
