But not earlier.

This is a great way because it is the most efficient - you will not waste time and mental energy dealing with non-existent problems. You will only deal with actual problems as (if) they arise, and if they do not arise, then you will have saved yourself a lot of mental anguish.
This is such a great idea but it takes discipline and practice. In my career, I'm supposed to anticapate problems in advance to keep clients out of trouble. So, I've become a bit of a "red flag" seeker in my personal life as well. So hard to not let one spill over to the other, but this is something I would like to focus on trying to do more often.
