Timing can make the right answer wrong for the moment.

The same answer can be right and unusable, because timing is part of the answer rather than a detail attached to it. The honest thing said at the wrong hour lands as cruelty. The correct plan launched before its conditions exist simply fails. Being right about content is only half of being right.

Before acting on a conclusion you are confident in, spend a moment on when. Ask what would need to be true for this to land well, and whether it is true yet. Sometimes waiting a week costs nothing and changes everything about how the same thing is received.
