Scripts from slides:
"I'm experiencing overwhelm and burnout. I said yes to one too many things and I'm hoping you can help me. Can you please ____ by ____?”
"I'm overwhelmed and I need help getting back to equilibrium. The good news is, I've identified exactly what's overwhelming me. Would you be up for helping me?”
"Thanks for agreeing to help!
I need XYZ done by ABC date and XYZ time. I usually do this by first doing X, followed by Y and then if I need to Z. But I'll take any help I can get if you want to do it another way.
Text me on my cell XXX-YYYY if you need me. I'm around all day today and tomorrow but leave the following day for a work trip!"
