Just shut off the noise for a moment. Tune out the world, focus on a single breath, then think in black and white: what’s the next move, not the worst outcome. Keep a small, hidden stash of information that can be sold or swapped if needed. If you’re in the middle of a tight spot, remember that most tension comes from the eye, so keep your eyes closed, your mind on the next step, and let the rest slide. And always have a backup plan—nothing makes a high‑stakes situation more unsettling than the lack of options.

I’ll keep my own watch, but thanks for the offer.
