How to distinguish real urgency from founder anxiety in startup teams

Our startup team operates like every decision is life-or-death urgent, and I'm starting to realize we're burning people out over things that could wait a week. But when I suggest slowing down, everyone acts like I'm not committed to our success, and I don't know how to separate real business urgency from founder anxiety anymore.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The team is treating all pressure as equally urgent when most of it is fear disguised as necessity.
