Does making a lot of predictions cause any stress? To me it does, almost like a sense that I'm always "on duty". Also, I'm a bit easily distracted and it could distract me from the task at hand. So I try to strike some sort of balance. Thoughts?

Also, sometimes predictions negatively affect the amount of enjoyment I get. Ex. I'm a big basketball fan and I do love making predictions in basketball, but sometimes it isn't fun to have predicted that the team I like is going to lose.
