Calm makes precision possible when urgency wants guesses.

Urgency pushes toward guessing, because a guess is available immediately and being accurate takes longer. Sometimes a guess is the right call and often it is not, and the pressure does not distinguish between the two. Calm is what makes it possible to do the accurate thing when accuracy is what the situation actually requires.

Ask whether this genuinely needs an answer in the next minute or whether it only feels that way. If you have ten minutes, use them to get it right. The felt urgency and the real deadline are frequently quite different.
