Not really crazy, but what works for me is that I pretend I’ve already done it and that I’ve magically been given a second chance to do it again, but better. For whatever reason this (mostly) calms me down, and I can get it done. If that’s not working, I pretend that I’m dead and that I’m delivering as a ghost. Nothing they can do or say can affect me, because I’m already dead. This also lowers the stakes in my head, because if I’m already dead, I have to think about why I am really there, who I’m trying to serve, and what really needs to get done beyond any personal interests or investment I might have.
