Burnout & overload
Scripts for asking for help
People often want to help but don’t know how. Scripts make the ask specific and easier to accept.
Quick checklist
- Write one specific ask: who, what, when, how long.
- Use a single message, not a long story.
- Offer two options for time/day.
- Follow up once; if no response, ask someone else.

Tip
