Choose a limit for voice messages

Say what length or timing makes voice messages usable for you.

Try this

  1. Describe the length or context you can manage, such as a brief note during a break.
  2. Offer a text summary for complicated logistics. Let the other person choose whether to shorten, use another format or save the conversation for a call.

A worked example

“Short voice notes work for me, but long ones are hard to catch up on.”

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

Before you leave it here

Offer text as an option without demanding that every conversation move into your preferred format.

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.
