Moving finish line
Realize that work is a race with no finish line. Don’t get paralyzed by uncertainty. Figure out how to move forward at a steady pace. Shift your perspective so that you’re no longer focused on an end-point goal. Keep the focus on, ‘what can I do right now’. Control the controllable and avoid any expectations. Apply defensive pessimism, set low targets and think through in concrete terms what exactly might go wrong. Keep moving forward regardless of unfair competition.
