Make one repair

Short, plain and without a preamble. Repair does not require agreement about the cause.

How to do it

  1. Choose one person and one specific moment you handled badly.

  2. Write what you did, in one sentence, with no explanation attached.

  3. Say or send it, adding only what you will do differently.

  4. Do not ask for anything back, including reassurance.

Repair is a habit more than a talent. This is one repetition.

If you want to write something

Where do you owe a repair rather than an explanation?
