Ourling

Set expectations for work-hour contact

Explain which contact is welcome during work and what may wait.

Try this

  1. Name the work periods when replies are unlikely and whether a brief practical message is useful.
  2. Choose an agreed route for a genuine time-critical matter. Keep ordinary affection and conversation free of a demand for an immediate work-hour answer.

A worked example

“I may not read personal messages until my break.”

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

Before you leave it here

Agree on a separate route for genuinely urgent logistics without labeling ordinary conversation urgent.

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.
