I think I have a mild case of Trypophobia.
Since it is mild, I shouldn't call it a phobia, though.
Interestingly, the treatment suggested on Wikipedia is to increase the exposure. That's the basic strategy I have followed my whole life, increased exposure to everything I dislike or fear. It works.

Happening last night.
Went to bed at 23:00h. Woke up at 1:30h. Couldn't sleep for a while.
Reading happened. Some re-reading too.
Manage to fall asleep at 3:00h, woke up at 3:20h after having a nasty (and recurrent) dream. Bah!
More reading happened. More re-reading too.
Sleeping again at ~4:20h. Another nasty dream woke me up half an hour later. Less nasty than the previous one (and also a well-known one).
Again, falling to sleep right before my alarm went off. Slept in 30 minutes or so.
I don't feel sleepy, though. Maybe this delicious coffee helps.
□ The End.
I am seriously considering to start practising Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) in the Spring next year. I found a good school relatively close by.
Daily schedule need to be re-adjusted. It won't be cheap, and life will get substantially more expensive for me next year—beyond inflation, but that also contributes.
Though, I first need to figure out what to do with my sore knees —a long-standing issue. I can get used to a mild pain, the problem is that when I part take in intense physical activities, even walking is painful.
Still, I think I'm going to—at least—try it.

There are days when I listen to quiet and calming music at work, no lyrics; headphones on, noise-cancelling enabled, moderate volume. It helps with concentration, especially when working at the office.
There are situations which require action, others require patience—waiting patiently as you observe things unfold.
Knowing when to act and when to wait is one of the most difficult life skills.
Acting when a situation requires patience is a mistake. So it is to keep patiently waiting when action is needed.
If you overthink it, you are stuck forever. If you act mindlessly—or prematurely—you might end up in the wrong place.
When you look back at your life, often the biggest mistakes taught you the greatest lessons. Should we still call them mistakes?
Therefore, if you go about your life learning the lesson from every mistake you make, shall we avoid calling those mistakes, and say life lessons instead?
