Don’t imagine it. See the work.

Start here: one deadline, one decision, one meeting

Today’s brief: 1. A project is waiting for client approval: review the decision before promising delivery. 2. Two people requested a meeting: confirm priorities and calendar availability. 3. An internal update has no owner: approve a delegation before assigning it.

Reply draft 1: ‘Thanks for reviewing the project. Could you confirm the remaining approval or tell us what needs changing? We will confirm the delivery plan after approval.’ Reply draft 2: ‘Thanks for the meeting request. What timezone and two preferred windows work for you? I will check availability before confirming.’ Nothing has been sent, scheduled or committed.
