Sleep on it isn’t stalling. It’s letting tomorrow’s you get a vote.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

Whoever is making the decision at eleven at night is tired, and tired brains overweight whatever feels most urgent. Morning you has the same information and a different chemistry, and will sometimes read the whole situation differently. Waiting is not avoidance when the decision does not expire overnight. It is giving a second opinion the chance to exist.

Next time you are about to send something heavy, write it and do not send it. Put the phone down and look again after sleep. If it still reads right in daylight, send it then, and you have lost nothing.
