This little monster would visit me in the hours before an important meeting and wreak all sorts of havoc on my day.

Past me might have let Dread Buddy run wild, trampling my calendar and headspace. Nowadays, I let this doom pet sit beside me. If it starts getting fussy, I take a moment to hear it out and then say, “Psst. Simmer down, I’ve got work to do.”
