Constantly worrying about downside risk is like distracting eddy currents.
- Constantly worrying about downside risk is like distracting eddy currents.
- The eddy currents make you much less efficient, making it impossible to have the smoothness of laminar flow.
- How to handle it:
- Think through the worst possible scenario and make a plan for what to do if it happens.
- A break glass plan.
- Then, stop thinking about it and swirling on it.
- If the worst case happens, break glass and execute it.
- Plus, in doing the analysis you'll likely realize that the worst case outcome really isn't that bad in the grand scheme of things.
- Less like a game-over condition in life, and more like a massive bummer.
