Gancho: One vague Slack message. Your brain says: you're fired.
Problema: She read it eleven times, cancelled dinner, rebuilt her whole deck, slept four hours. The meeting? Fourteen minutes about a new account.
Método: First, a 24-hour rule: write the scary story, do nothing for a day. Second, a two-minute evidence check: what was actually said? Third, ask for specifics: 'What would that look like on slide one?' Fourth, pass on the first project offered and say, 'Let me check my capacity.' Recovery went from a week to an afternoon.
1. 24-hour rule: write the catastrophic story, wait a day before reacting
2. Two-minute evidence check: what was actually said, implied, and known
3. Ask for specifics instead of guessing: 'What would that look like on slide one?'
4. Decline the first project offered and buy time: 'Let me check my capacity'
