Why it matters

Waiting to be offered something leaves the decision with someone else.

A plain request lets you name what you want.

The answer may be no; asking is still the act.

How to do it

  1. 1Pick a request that feels safe and matters to you: time, help, a seat, or an opportunity.
  2. 2Write one sentence: “I would like more time” or “Can I have a seat?”
  3. 3Say it this week. Leave out the apology. Give the other person room to answer.

Do it this week. Tap Done when it’s real.
