@thecrowtoldme23: Here is a short check for any plan that will land on a later day: a hire, a budget, a message you will send later in the week. Step one: name your state right now in plain words. Tired, hungry, rattled, steady. One word is enough. Step two: name the state you expect to be in when the plan comes due. Monday morning after a weekend is not Thursday evening after a long week. Step three: if the two do not match, write DRAFT at the top and read it again from a steadier hour. You do not have to throw it out. You just do not lock it yet. Why bother? In a 1998 study, people who chose next week's snack while hungry picked more junk food than people who chose right after lunch, even though the snack would not arrive for a week. When the day came and they could swap, they reached for junk food far more often than they had planned. For teams, ask when a plan was written before you argue about whether it is good. A plan drafted at the end of a brutal week deserves a second read in a better one. You can text the draft to the coaching line in my bio before it goes final. Calm before cognition.
