worried moment inside the design studio after a retro and I’m in a people partner seat; after being told 'next cycle' hit me harder than expected. I’m trying to stay calm, but my brain keeps doing the math on worst-case outcomes. I asked for a DRI and a deadline for the decision, and it actually reduced thrash. Does this usually settle down after a couple weeks, or does it keep spiraling? Thanks for reading, I know everyone’s busy.
