Name your uncertainty before discussing a plan

Separate what you know from the parts you are still thinking through.

Try this

  1. Write down what you already know and what you still need to decide.
  2. Share the uncertainty explicitly. Ask to explore options if you are not ready to make a request or commitment.

A worked example

“I know I need more notice, but I’m unsure what notice is realistic.”

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

Before you leave it here

Explore options before asking for a commitment you have not clearly defined.

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.
