I can’t help but laugh when people are freaking out about insular events, like missing the deadline for their tuition payment in college. I’m not mean, I just see the big picture. Usually, I use this to try and help my friends calm down. “Look, they only put up a deadline so people wouldn’t forget it altogether. Nothing is going to happen, you can just pay it a couple days late.”

What’s more, even if it meant getting kicked out of school, there are so many more things you could do, like enrolling in a different school or program, suing your way back in, or, just abandoning college altogether. And while I think about the big picture a little too often and doubt my own plans, most people lack this awareness.

If you’re someone who gets stressed out by rather small problems like that, maybe John’s tactic can help you. Before you begin your day, look at all appointments on your calendar, and think about which ones will be the biggest learning opportunities. By preparing for the most important events each day, you remain open to finding new ways of doing things, changing direction, and be reminded that there’s more to life than your little, 24-h plan.

John used this to be on high alert when he had dinner with an NFL coach, for example. He thought of lots of questions beforehand and left the table full of new ideas and inspiration.
