Answer

There are a few things you can do to stay calm and focused. First, make sure you've prepared as much as possible in advance, so you're not scrambling to get everything done at the last minute. Double-check that all systems are working correctly and that all stakeholders are informed about the launch plan. Second, take breaks as needed throughout the day to step away from the computer, take a few deep breaths, and clear your mind. This will help you stay centered and avoid getting overwhelmed. Third, surround yourself with supportive colleagues who can help you troubleshoot any issues that arise and provide encouragement and positive energy. Remember, launch day is just one small part of a larger project, and even if things don't go exactly as planned, you can always regroup and adjust as needed.
