When you do have slack, explore, especially situations where you’re forced to interact with the world. E.g. talking to people in new contexts, making physical objects, etc. Conjecture: there’s a sort of “can charge full speed ahead into the unknown” that’s basically trainable, and it’s about doing things where you start off not at all knowing how it’s going to go / how you’re going to deal with it; training in low-stakes will transfer to high-stakes.
