When telling people when something gets done, there’s some words that need to be avoided, words such as: “soon” or “asap”.

These words carry close to no meaning. What “soon” means. This year? Next month? Today? In 2 hours?

Same thing with the following: “it’s not a big deal” or “it’s not much work” or “it can be done fast”.

These also have no meaning. Is “fast” or “not big deal” equal to 2 week? 3 Days? 1 month? 2 hours?

Instead of saying “soon” say “today” or “tomorrow before 4 pm”.

Instead of saying “not much work” say “it takes 2 days”.
