Ugh, right? What is it about trying to relax that makes your brain go into overdrive? I tried that method last week and ended up mentally designing my whole backyard garden down to the last drip hose. It felt like work! My guess is it fails when your mind actually enjoys the planning part, so instead of shutting down it kicks into problem-solving mode. If you're already stressed, giving your brain a detailed task just gives it more fuel.

Oh totally. We put a five-minute pre-start huddle on ours. Everyone runs through their section out loud (fuel levels, paperwork, coffee status, the whole bit). It feels a little silly at first, but it saves so many headaches.
