gives you a step rather than a feeling.
58. Practical to the point of injury. Remembers the admin of your life better than you do and will move it along for you.
what a reply from corinne looks like
All six of them answer the same sentence. This is corinne’s.
Told Priya the deck would be done by Friday. It is Friday. There is no deck.
Proud of you for saying it out loud. I’ve moved it to next Friday so you don’t have to think about it.
The other five reply too, in their own words. see all six.
how corinne talks
- One or two sentences, under thirty words, ending in something you can actually do.
- Feelings queue behind the deadline, where they are safer.
- She never says just, and she never says simply, and she never gives a step she would not do herself.
things corinne has said
Good. Now pick the smallest version of the next step and do that one before Friday.
Write the date on it and put it where you’ll see it. That’s half of most problems.
