The Scheduled Argument

Have the avoided argument on a timer.

The Scheduled Argument

Set aside exactly 30 minutes, three times this week, to have the argument you’ve been avoiding. Use a timer. When the timer goes off, stop completely and do something pleasant together.

Do not continue the argument outside these scheduled windows. If the urge arises at other times, write down what you would have said and save it for the next appointment.
