Today is a good day to prepare for important conversations rather than to have them. Think through exactly what you want to say and pick two or three arguments that are easy to remember.

A kind word offered first will cost you less than a pause held out for effect. If resentment has built up, wait until evening and say so briefly, without theatrical gestures.

Check your subscriptions and regular payments for phone, transport and online services, and cancel the ones you haven't used in a long time. A conversation about pay for extra work is better left until closer to Thursday.

Work through the pile of correspondence and answer the most important emails in the first half of the day. Confirm any decisions made verbally with a message straight away, so you don't end up arguing about them later.

After weeks of talking, your voice needs a rest, so drink something warm and give yourself a few hours of silence. Your shoulders and hands will benefit from short breaks away from your phone.
