Hello and welcome to another edition of Inside The Newsroom, home to more journalism opportunities than any other newsletter in the world.

Last week we talked about anxiety and creativity. This week I want to talk about a superpower that comes with age and experience, one that slips under the radar when it comes to conversations about professional development: the ability to anticipate your own emotional responses.

As we accumulate years in journalism — covering various beats, working with different editors, navigating the inevitable ups and downs of the industry — we begin to build an internal database of emotional outcomes. We learn how we'll feel if we take on that ambitious investigative project, or if we pass on it. We can predict the satisfaction of completing a difficult interview, or the regret of not sending one last email. This emotional foresight becomes an increasingly valuable tool for making better decisions.

I'm finding that this anticipatory ability operates on both micro and macro levels. On the micro level, knowing that if I stay up late to get that one extra thing done for this newsletter, I'll feel exhausted the next day, but also more professionally fulfilled. If I skip that extra effort to get more sleep, I'll feel rested but disappointed in myself. On the macro level, it's understanding how we'll feel six months from now if we accept a new job offer, or turn it down. If we invest time in learning a new skill, or stick with what we already know. These aren't just intellectual calculations, they're emotional predictions based on patterns we've observed in ourselves over years of trial and error.

What makes this capacity so powerful is how it can guide us toward decisions that serve our long-term wellbeing rather than just our short-term comfort. The younger version of myself might have chosen the immediate gratification of an easy win over the delayed satisfaction of a more challenging project. But experience has taught me to anticipate how I'll feel looking back on these choices. I can now predict with reasonable certainty that I'll feel prouder of the project that pushed me out of my comfort zone, even if it meant more uncertainty along the way. I can anticipate the regret of playing it safe when my gut was telling me to take the risk.

This emotional anticipation isn't about becoming predictable or boring, it's about becoming wiser in how we allocate our time and energy. It's recognizing that our future self will thank us for certain choices and resent us for others, and using that foresight to make decisions that align with the kind of journalist, and person, we want to be. So with that, here's to anticipating how we will or will not feel, and to making better decisions as a result.
