Help and clarification scriptsWorkplace conversation scripts
tonen helps you handle common workplace conversations with clear wording you can use right away.
Which step should I start with, and when do you need it?
Could we review my priorities? I cannot complete both tasks today.
Could we talk at 11? I am finishing something that needs my full attention.
I do not have capacity for this alongside my current commitments.

Choose the conversation you need to have
Use these page-written examples as starting points. Add the task, date and action you need. When priorities conflict, ask the person responsible to choose what moves; wording alone cannot resolve an impossible workload.
Discuss workload
“I can complete the current task today. If this new one is urgent, which deadline should move?”
Declining extra workProtect focus time
“I am working on the report until 11. Could you send the details in a message so I can reply afterwards?”
Preparing with ADHDConfirm an agreement
“To check we agree: I will send the draft on Thursday, and you will review it on Friday.”
