Have difficult conversations early in the day. Putting them off creates mental rumination and drains your energy with imagined scenarios that usually don't happen the way you feared them.

This is confidence tip number 105. Have difficult conversation early. It's very similar to another confidence tip that says make phone calls early in the day. This is exactly the same principle. If you know you've got to have a difficult or a challenging conversation with someone, get it out of the way as early as possible. You'll find that will free you up. What happens if you don't do it straight away or don't do it early is you think about it all day and it festers inside and you imagine what's going to happen, what they'll say and what you'll say. And if they say this, then I'll say that, and I'll say that, and I'll say this. And nearly always none of that happens. So have the difficult conversations early in the day.
