Check whether a draft contains an unmade promise

Review future-tense statements before sending a message written to reassure someone.

Try this

  1. Underline commitments about time, behavior, money or availability. Keep only those you can reasonably intend to carry out.
  2. Replace unsupported promises with an honest next action or uncertainty, rather than a guarantee meant to end discomfort.

A worked example

“I cannot promise I will be free every evening. I can check my roster and suggest two times for next week.”

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

Before you leave it here

If you make a commitment, give it a practical form you can follow. Reassurance that exceeds your actual capacity creates a new problem for later.

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.
