Linear increase in stress with upcoming events

Anyone else feel this way?

If I have one thing upcoming later in the day, I have a bit of stress. Not because it's particularly difficult or anything, but the constant self-reminder, questioning if I'm prepared, or fear I'm going to miss it.

If it's something habitual like school or work that's fine, but if it's a little bit outside your comfort zone, it really adds up.

Tomorrow I have a call to work out a business idea with the client of a friend before work, a presentation at work, and then a networking meeting after lunch, followed up by a mock interview for a friend in the evening. On the weekend I have a hike planned, and I've got an interview Monday morning. My girlfriend is preparing for interviews too, and I'm headed for a 3 week workaction/PTO trip to see her in Korea at the end of the month. I'm feeling strangely stressed. But it seems the stress level is a simple aggregation over all the upcoming events.
