sample answer:
We all get busy in times of exam, sickness of a family member, for completing assignment, to meet deadline etc. and though most of us wish to lead a relaxed and hassle free life, the situation demands our promptness in action and we all get busy then. One such busy time I still remember was the time when I had the deadline to submit my thesis paper in the final year of my university.
I had about 2 months to complete the thesis and I killed almost 2 weeks due to my job pressure. I joined a company as a part time employee at the beginning of my final term and had to work for about 4-5 hours per day. I had classes to attend, exams to prepare for, study and work at office.

I am so lucky that I was finally completed the thesis and submitted it in due time. To my surprise, I got a straight 'A' in my thesis, continued my job and did well in my term final. But for that I had to sacrifice a lot and maintain a strict routine. I slept 4-5 hours each day on an average, read academic books and notes in public transportation while moving from one place to another, and utilized every single hour I got. Moreover to finish things in time I stopped lot of my other activities that I usually do. Thus I had been able to handle the pressure and deadline.
