The scientist and decision-making expert Gary Klein is a proponent of using “premortems”51 (doing a postmortem in advance) to envision what a potential failure might look like, so that you can then consider the possible reasons for that failure. To put the premortem into question form, you might ask: If I were to fail, what might be the reasons for that failure?
This is similar to “Premeditatio malorum”. A stoic philosophy that emphasise thinking about what are all the things that could go wrong and be prepared for it even before it happens. This doesn’t mean that you have to worry about it. This just means that you have to be prepared for it in a better way and prevent from getting attached to anything that is not in your control.
