Most people's communication habits are: laying the groundwork, explaining, beating around the bush, and only cautiously revealing the main point at the end.

You think this is politeness, but actually it is draining others' patience.
Modern people's attention span is only 8 seconds. When you are still saying "Sorry to bother you," the other person is only thinking: What exactly do you want to say?
To change, you need to learn a assertive thinking and expression method:
Conclusion first + value support + follow-up plan
📢 Don't be a preparer, be a breaker of the situation
▶️ Ordinary people's reports:
First emotions, then facts
"Leader, that client is too difficult. I revised it eight times, and they still weren't satisfied. I really did my best..."
Result: You are complaining, and the boss thinks you are making excuses.
▶️ Expert's report:
First results, then plan
"The plan was rejected. After review, we found the requirements were not aligned. I prepared three new plans, and the results will be ready by tomorrow afternoon. Can you help me review them?"
Result: You are solving problems, and the boss sees professionalism.
