my psychologist gave me the best piece of advice ever that i still try to live by  he called it the 3 minute rule basically if something needs to be done and it can be done in 3 minutes and you’re not doing anything critical do it immediately without even thinking about it every time   you can extend that to 5 mins or whatever but it’s crazy how much panics it can prevent  i know it’s not that related to your post but uh i’ve written it now so whatever
