I've been in project management for about five years now, and I always find myself getting really anxious leading up to major deployments, rollouts, and other significant changes. It doesn't matter how big or small the project is—whether it's enrolling new phones in InTune, switching VoIP providers, or migrating crucial services; I can't help but stress about it. I keep going over every detail in my head, worrying about what I might have missed or if everything will go smoothly. Right now, I have a big project coming up where I'm the only technical resource, and it's really overwhelming. I just want to know how to manage the anxiety without letting it affect my personal life, especially with my family. My wife can sense something's off, and being a dad, I want to be fully present for my little girl.

Honestly, it sounds like you need to experience a project that doesn't go perfectly. Realizing that a major mess isn't the end of the world can be so freeing. Just do your best, and if things go sideways, roll with it. Remember, that's a problem for the future—you'll just keep doing your best until you resolve it. Monday might be chaotic, but having that perspective can really help you cope.
I feel you! Accepting that things can go wrong really takes the pressure off. Prepare as much as you can, of course, but know that you can't control everything. Sometimes, things will fail no matter how well you plan. Just keep calm and have a backup plan, and you won't panic when things hit the fan.
