Emotions and Communication: Understood First, Then Solve Problems

Your instinct is to find solutions first, but sometimes others need “to be heard.”
Restating the other’s feelings and key points first, then proposing options and trade-offs, is a more effective process.
In high-pressure scenes, three-sentence template works: “I hear you,” “I’m here,” “I’ll do these three things.”

Common Sticking Points and Adjustments

You may ignore context in pursuit of efficiency, making people feel too rigid.
When things don’t go as planned, you easily rush to fix, forgetting to stabilize emotions first.
You occasionally put “immediately doable” before “overall optimal,” leading to many short plays, few long-term.
Adjustment method is simple: each meeting ask “what are we trying to achieve” first, then ask “what does success look like.”
Establish “60% launch, 90% optimize later” threshold, helping yourself block over-perfection.
Use three sentences to explain decision logic, letting others see your judgment isn’t arbitrary but data-based.

Partners most suited to you accept your directness and also remind you to slow down and listen to feelings.
Dates don’t need to be complex: shopping and cooking together, planning a small trip, turning to-do lists into sweet tasks—all make you happy.
Once you commit, you keep your word, so you also expect stability and honesty from partners.

Manual for Conflict and Repair

Cool down first, then handle matters.
Reach agreement on facts, clarify each other’s needs and constraints.
Co-draft three feasible options, list pros/cons and next steps, pick one to try first.
Set review time, check effectiveness and make micro-adjustments.
Treat apologies as part of repair process, not admitting incompetence.
This makes your relationships as predictable as your projects.

Regularly disconnect yourself, go to a field where you can fully engage, giving your brain real rest.
Regular routine and sunlight make your reactions more agile and emotions steadier.

Turning High Efficiency into Care

For you, caring is often “I do things well, so you don’t worry.”
