Oh hey, what's up? Everything okay?

What to cover

  1. Use 'I' statements, not accusations
  2. Explain the impact on your sleep/study
  3. Suggest a compromise
  4. Stay friendly and understanding

Write these down before you dial. Build a script for this call with your own details.

Rehearse it once first

Reading a checklist is the easy part. Saying it to someone who answers back is where calls go wrong. In murmur you make this call out loud, the other side reacts, and afterwards you see which of these goals you hit.
