[00:00:00] Speaker 1: You already know what you want to say, so you type it.

[00:00:06] Speaker 2: Again, and again, and again, and again.

[00:00:11] Speaker 1: Why?

[00:00:13] Speaker 2: Just say it.

[00:00:15] Speaker 1: Uh, thanks for sending this over. I'll take a look today, and yeah, I'll get back to you tomorrow. Can we meet at 4pm? Actually, change that to 3pm. Uh, three topics. One is the pricing. Two is the launch date. Three is, uh, the demo.

Summary

The speakers discuss the tendency to repeatedly type and revise messages despite already knowing what to say. One speaker urges the other to simply say it, followed by an example message that thanks someone for sending material, promises a review today and response tomorrow, reschedules a meeting from 4 p.m. to 3 p.m., and lists agenda topics: pricing, launch date, and a demo.
