Try this: Ask for the real deadline and which current priority should be displaced. Send this to the person whose workday never really ends. Self-help only — not therapy, diagnosis, or emergency support.

  1. Other people’s urgency may be setting your priorities by default.
  2. Treating every request as equally time-sensitive.
  3. Accepting work before asking what moves or stops.
  4. Ask for the real deadline and which current priority should be displaced.
