A short practical advice piece presenting a three-question framework to reduce worry: (1) Do you have control over the outcome? (2) Is it worth your energy? (3) Based on those answers, should you take it on, delegate it, or let it go. The speaker reports that applying this assessment lets them release about 85–90% of their worries.
About 85–90%.
Here's a practical tip for you. This is what I say for people. When you're worrying about a lot, ask yourself three things. Number one, do you have any control over the outcome? Number two, is it worth your energy to deal with it? And number three, based on those responses, should you take it on? Should you delegate it to someone else, or should you let it go? And when you really take assessment of every single thing that we worry about, I mean, I worry about I have a lot on my plate, right? That comes in at me all the time. And when I ask myself this, I find that 85 to 90% of it gets let go because I have no control over the outcome, or it's simply not worth my energy to do it.
