It is Sunday, about seven in the evening, and the week has already started without you.
Nothing has happened yet. The meeting is thirty-eight hours away. You have run it four times, badly, and you will run it again before you sleep.
By the time it arrives you will have lived through it twenty times. Then it will happen once, take eleven minutes, and be largely fine.
You have tried distraction, and going to bed early, and telling yourself it will probably be fine. You cannot reassure yourself, because the part of you that needs convincing knows you have no evidence.
So stop arguing with it and start keeping a record.
Your dread is making a claim: something specific will go badly, in a particular way, on Tuesday. It has never once been asked to show its accuracy.
Inside you will discover:
- The five-line forecast, and the two-line check that turns dread into data
- The marking test, so your forecasts can be scored right or wrong
- The difference between preparing and rehearsing, settled by one question
- Why Sunday evening specifically, and why ten minutes at six beats two hours at ten
- The worst realistic version, and the and-then-what chain that shrinks it
- What to do at four in the morning, when the body arrived before the thought
- Three kinds of dread, and why treating them the same is why nothing has worked
- What it means when your forecast turns out to be right
- A twelve-week sequence, and the four numbers you will be able to read at the end
No positive thinking. Nothing here asks you to pretend your worries are irrational, because some of them are not.
This is a short practical book, not therapy. The practice borrows a mechanic from cognitive behavioural work and does much less than the real thing. Chapter 14 says so plainly and tells you when to see somebody instead.
Book Four of The Control Line Series. Reads perfectly well on its own.
Buy your copy and write one forecast this Sunday.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
