Agree on when a conversation ends

Choose a phrase that clearly signals a pause or ending.

Try this

Choose a plain phrase that does not rely on subtle hints, and discuss what happens when it is used.
If resuming is wanted, arrange the next contact separately. A pause should not trigger a stream of follow-up messages elsewhere.

A worked example

“When I say I need to stop, I mean this conversation needs a break.”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.

Before you leave it here

Do not continue the same discussion through another channel immediately afterward.

This is a voluntary planning exercise. Keep your notes private, adapt the language, and leave any question unanswered. It does not require Ourling or a purchase.
