I don't know if this is the result of 20 years of commuting or what?
Well, do you think it works for you at some level or not? Does it reduce your anxiety, or does it actually make you more anxious, or neither? If you find it really hard to get out of the mindset, do you actually want to get out of it?

I think it does work for me, generally.
Particularly when cycling, I do have to control my natural inclination to push on which could lead to poor risk judgement.
I decided to default to not rlj as otherwise I was making a decision on risk at each red light and that was too much.
I do get it wrong sometimes, though. Often when attempting to filter past stationary traffic. I've warned myself about that.
So, I guess i don't want to get out of the mindset, just moderate it a tad.
I have a preoccupation with reducing journey time. It's irrational, however it is quite deep seated.
I walk as fast as i can without breaking into a run
I always walk up and down escalators
I try out different permutations for regular journeys to see which is quickest
Etc
I know it'll only make a few minutes difference to my arrival time, if that, but i find it really hard to get out of the mindset.
