How do you deal with the unknown?

So in life, we can't plan for everything.
Sometimes things crop up and we just have to go with it, whatever they may be.
So how do you personally deal with those situations?
Do you just not think much about it until you have to?
Or are you a worrier and try to think of all the different outcomes and possible solutions?

I'm a bit of both.

I'm a terrible worrier, but I try to focus.
There are things completely outside of my control
There are things I can influence, but not control
There are things I can control

I categorise my worries into one of those and try to put my most of my effort into things I can control and a bit of effort into the influencing category

I find by categorising I get a bit of control

@Spectre128 Yes I could see how that could help 🤔

@Purplerain78 I find just writing down what's worrying you then categorising is a help, getting things down on paper sort of gets them out of your mind.

Your SW friends are also there to listen to your worries too
