“I am courageous and confident in expressing my thoughts and opinions, even in difficult situations.”

A short tool for clarifying a conversation you are postponing. You will name it, shape it, and commit to it. Your private writing never appears in the calendar event, and your private writing is not saved.

Step 1 of 3

Name it

Write a plain description of the conversation you have been avoiding. Keep it concrete. You can optionally pull an example prompt, then rewrite it in your own words.

This stays private.
Only what you need appears per step.

Shape it

This step has three parts. First, write the messy private version. Second, write what you would actually say if you were speaking normally. Third, using that version, write only the first sentence you will open with. The calendar entry will include a subject line and that first sentence only.

How to do this well
Messy is allowed to be blunt and emotional. Nobody sees it.
Actually say is your normal voice. Direct, fair, not performative.
First sentence is the opening line you can deliver calmly. One sentence only.
Useful prompts: What am I reacting to? What do I want to change? What feels at stake?
Replace global judgments with one concrete example. Replace mind reading with observable facts.
Keep it bland. This is what appears as the calendar title.

Commit to it

Choose a time and schedule it. The calendar entry will include the subject line and first sentence only.
