So rather than think “why hasn’t this person done the task I told them to do” and get frustrated, I remember that they’re not an infallible person and they much like me are overwhelmed with the minutia of life. Especially if they don’t seem to be antagonizing me about the request or express that they earnestly forgot and recognize the delay isn’t good and take a step to remedy the situation. This person isn’t my subordinate, if I choose to engage with them in that manner I should be prepared to accept a dynamic that reflects task giver/receiver more than loved one. That’s just me though</p>
