In 2018, 62-year-old Linda Garza woke up at 2:00 AM to a loud crashing noise downstairs and lay frozen in terror for twenty minutes because her phone was downstairs, her glasses were missing, and her bedroom had no light or lock within reach. A family friend—a 20-year Navy SEAL veteran—rearranged her nightstand and gave her a simple set of tools; when the exact same noise happened a month later, she was calm, equipped, and in full control within three seconds. Under real stress, you don't rise to the occasion—you fall back on whatever system you set up ahead of time on a calm afternoon.
