Say Less: A Caregiver Sentence Bank

Say Less: A Caregiver Sentence Bank

This is for people who are caregiving and need language when capacity is low.

When you’re responsible for others, you’re often expected to explain yourself — even when you’re exhausted.

Say Less is a reusable sentence bank designed to help caregivers communicate clearly and respectfully without over-explaining, justifying, or escalating conflict.

This tool helps when:

• family members question decisions but don’t help
• medical conversations require clarity without emotional labor
• boundaries need to be stated without debate
• energy is low and even typing feels like too much

Each response is written to reduce emotional labor, not invite argument.

Inside, you’ll find:

• a Notion-based sentence library organized by situation
• dedicated low-energy responses for difficult moments
• a “browse everything” view for users who want flexibility
• a calm, accessible layout designed for cognitive ease

You can use the sentences as-is or duplicate the system into your own Notion workspace.

Use this when:

• you don’t have the capacity to explain yourself
• you need words, not scripts or therapy talk
• you want communication that protects your energy

This is not a course or a productivity system.

It is a practical support tool you can return to whenever you need language that works.

Built for real life — not ideal conditions.
