For the first time, my team made the playoffs this year. My nerves were on edge, fear of failure from past seasons whispered in my ear. However, I couldn’t check on any of it. I had chosen this night to go camping. With no cell signal, there was quite literally nothing I could do. No more trades, no more strategy, no moves to squeeze another home run out of my team. Nothing to do but wait until tomorrow. What does this have anything to do with election season, you may ask? Well in preparation for the upcoming election, it is important to embrace the actions you can take ahead of time in order to minimize the experience of regret. And it is equally important to plan ahead for anxiety on the night of the election once there is quite literally nothing else to do.
