A small practice for the waiting email

Original practice · Optional exercise · Small beginnings

Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.

1. Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: An unfinished email has a greeting but no request.
2. Write the request first and add the greeting afterwards.
3. Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
4. Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.
