Real days don’t come with a replay. That’s exactly why they count.

Nothing you do today gets a second run. That sounds like pressure and is actually the source of value: the stakes are what make an ordinary afternoon anything at all, because a day you could redo infinitely would be worth nothing. The weight you feel is not a flaw in the design. It is the reason the thing matters.

Rather than trying to make today perfect, pick one part of it to be fully present for. The drive, the warm-up, dinner. Perfection is not available and attention is, and attention is what you keep afterwards.
