hey bill, I've been wanting to use your strategy of try out for a lot of opportunities you don't particularly want to get, so that way when one comes around you do want you'll be prepared. but I get so psyched out when I try to apply for things, like, what if I get this and I have to commit, or what if I half-ass the application and don't get it and feel rejected and get sad? it's stuff that runs into my mind so eventually I put the application away and miss the opportunity entirely. how do I stop getting psyched out about it?
the only time you have worries like this is before doing the thing. these are the kinds of worries that no one has while they are actually doing the thing
