Try this
- List the topics that have accumulated around the ritual and identify which belong elsewhere.
- Keep only the original purpose if it is still wanted. Schedule a separate logistics conversation rather than letting tea become a compulsory meeting.
A worked example
“Our evening tea has become all logistics. Can we move those elsewhere?”
An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.
Before you leave it here
Preserve one clear purpose instead of asking a single ritual to handle every need.
