Coping When It Counts
Coping When It Counts is a short visual guide for moments connected to performance anxiety. It covers one core idea: under high load, trying to suppress arousal wastes resources. You will formulate a short process prompt: “look at the next question”, “speak more slowly”, then choose what fits next. The aim is more usable focus under pressure rather than guaranteed calm.
You can skip any step or stop at any time.
