Worry can hijack your life and in construction, it can feel like you're carrying the job home every night. In this episode, Jason shares practical, builder-tested ways to reduce anxiety and stress using lessons from Dale Carnegie's How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, including "day-tight compartments" and getting the mental clutter out of your head and into a system. He also talks about real panic attack experiences, the role of exercise and habits, and why some situations require professional medical help. You'll leave with simple tools you can use today to calm your mind, protect your energy, and live a more balanced life.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• How to "live in day-tight compartments" so yesterday and tomorrow don't steal today
• How to use box breathing to regain mind control when stress starts to spike
• How a simple to-do system and staying meaningfully engaged can crowd worry out
• Six practical ways to reduce fatigue and worry: rest before tired, relax at work/home, prioritize, decide, organize, and supervise
• Why asking for help early and getting professional support when needed is strength, not weakness

What would change in your work and family life if you stopped carrying tomorrow's problems into today?
