Original Advice

DO: Schedule worry time; protect your sleep ritual.

Contain the Spiral, Guard the Night

Your mind loves drama disguised as diligence. You turn a squeak into a structural failure, then file a report at 2:17 a.m. You don’t solve at night; you spiral. Sleep becomes your hostage. The truth: your worry is not a virtue. It’s a ritual you never scheduled. If you won’t corral it, it will run your house, your inbox, your morning face.

Put the beast on a leash. Give worry a time slot and a chair—early evening, not the pillow. Write every fear, counter with one action or a box labeled 'tomorrow.' Close the book. Then guard the gate of night like a bouncer: screens off, teeth brushed, lamp out, same hour. Ritual is not romance; it’s scaffolding for a quieter brain.
