If your SSV is okay with it, I've found that not wearing a headset to avoid continually hearing orders pouring in from drive thru helps me A LOT in avoiding that bar anxiety. Like if I know I already have 5 drinks to make and I hear 4 more get ordered before I'm done with the first of the origional 5, my brain just goes into full panic mode. So I stay blissfully ignorant and just keep calmly making drinks as the sticker machine tells me to.
Edit: my store also does crazy volume, like $8-10k per day and I am also perfectly capable of handling the volume. For me it's more a matter of essentially being told to do more things before you're done doing the things youre currently doing that triggers it.

YES! the anticipatory anxiety is so real. it feels like a cooking show competition where they have 30 minutes of intensity except no one ever yells “TIME! baristas drop your 2%”
do you know if theres a rule against putting the stickers on the bar instead of cups? for some reason empty cups feel like shit but stickers themselves just seem like orders

I believe there is a rule in beverage sequencing against this and I wouldn't put them on the bar itself. Buuut at my store because of the way stickers are routed we'll pull stickers and stick them to the sticker machine until they can be put on cups. I think in the end weather or not breaking that rule is a big deal is up to your store's management and anybody else that is working on bar with you. Like all our cold bar drinks go to the in-store hot bar machine so we need to pull stickers so cold bar can continue to work without waiting for their stickers to print.
