End an always-open call arrangement

Change an open connection habit when it no longer fits, without implying that constant access was owed.

Try this

  1. Name the part that has become difficult, such as background listening or trouble focusing.
  2. Propose intentional start and end times for future calls. Close the current connection clearly rather than leaving the change to be discovered.

A worked example

“I want to stop leaving the call running while we work. I’d enjoy a proper goodbye now and a short call after dinner.”

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

Before you leave it here

An earlier preference for continuous contact can change. Review the new format after trying it, without using connection duration as a measure of commitment.
