Anxiety has one weakness. Most people never use it. Anxiety has one great weakness and almost nobody uses it on purpose. It hates a plan. Here's the science.

Clear goals, a routine, a concrete next step. That's why the same person can be calm in a well-defined job and a complete wreck in a chaotic one. The situation changed, not the person. So don't fight the feeling head on at 3 a.m. Lower the volume in advance. Turn everything might go wrong into "here is the one thing I'll do first".
