–anxieties ( I didn’t say “stressors”) ranked roughly by … health effect

• * [CI] #1 boss warning about performance. tremendous Blow to self-confidence. In GS, I used to get up in the morning feeling worried about my projects.
• * [A] forced to look for new job. Remember GS and the shitty job at OC
• * [AI] bitter quarrels with wife or parents
• * [A] moving home
• * [A] personal trading like FXO gone wrong. Requiring constant watch. Worst when it’s too big and complex
• * [I] kids’ school marks .. (far) higher stress than non-academic subjects. See https://btv-open.dreamhosters.com/2016/07/04/exam-pressure-without-valve/
• * [I] weight (once 71 kg) and diet. I tend to have reasonable control.
• * worry about specific health conditions. I tend to manage them systematically.
• * [A] UChicago exams. See https://btv-open.dreamhosters.com/2015/12/16/uchicago-study-does-add-to-the-stress/
• * [C] kids’ weight problem and unhealthy diet
• * [C] not making progress learning anything serious
• * [AW] kids on a rampage
• * too much stuff at home, clutter
• * [W] too much stuff hanging everywhere in home
  [A=acute, usually over a short term]
  [C=chronic]
  [I=widespread and deep implications]
  [W=unique to wife]

–small stressors that don’t make the list, but could add  up

• * kids’ poor reading habit. Now much better.
• * kids unable to become more careful@exams
• * [A] accident – something broken
• * low retention rate in UChicago — more like disappointments, negative feeling, rather than anxiety
• * FSM poor return
• * accident – misplaced something
• * [A] accident – bought something wrong.. regret but unable to get rid of it
