When faced with a decision that's about to go atomic, remember: stay calm, stay focused, and try not to sweat. It's not the end of the world, it's just the end of your favorite coffee shop (or so it seems).
Before making the atomic call, ask yourself: "Is it worth the risk?" "Will it all end badly?" "Will I have to eat ramen noodles for a month?" If the answer is no, then maybe reconsider.
Things are going to go wrong, no matter what. So, try to think about the inevitable. How will it all end? Will you be okay? Is there an exit strategy?
You know that look you give when you've just set off a nuclear bomb in your kitchen? Yeah, that's what you want. Practice that look, and you'll be ready for anything life throws at you.
