The trouble is when you spend a lot of time thinking, "How much should I worry about this specific thing?" I don't know anyone who spends a significant time on "How much should I worry in general?"
Oh, sorry, I was trying to refer to "How much should I worry about this specific thing?" throughout; "How much should I worry in general" seems like kind of an ill-formed question, since worrying seems to take a lot of forms both productive and unproductive, and the optimal amount is probably highly dependent on circumstances.
