What this is

Over-preparation is fear in a spreadsheet's clothing.

  • Not this"Just book the flight." Selling certainty through impulse.
  • Not thisThe 47-step spreadsheet. Selling certainty through over-engineering.
  • ThisA system for moving while scared.

The five systems

  • Moneynot how much you saved, how long it lasts.
  • Safetyalone doesn't mean unaccounted for.
  • Incomewhat keeps working, or what you'd sell, if the trip runs longer than planned.
  • Gear & logisticswhat actually goes in the bag, and how you get from the airport to the door.
  • The fallbackthe go/no-go call, decided in advance, not in a panic.

Before the Runway Check
