Easy Read
Do the next useful action
Start at number 1. You do not need to do everything at once.
Leave, submit or contact.
If you can still arrive or submit safely, do that. If not, contact the person now.
Use a short message.
“I am running late. I expect to arrive at __.” Or: “I have missed the deadline. Please tell me the next available option.” Keep it short. Do not add information that is not needed.
Check you have what you need.
Before you leave or submit, check for the required item, address, document or login.
Do not squeeze in one more job.
Put it on paper or in your phone notes for later. One more job often creates another job.
