Four Agreements By Don Miguel Ruiz: https://www.miguelruiz.com/the-four-agreements
The Four Agreements are:

Be Impeccable With Your Word.
Don't Take Anything Personally.
Don't Make Assumptions.
Always Do Your Best.

Steps To Successfully "Making Time":
1) Make sure you're in a place where you're not emotional.
- Are you ready to proceed or do you need to take a moment to collect yourself?
2) Write down what you want to discuss.
-Be specific about the issues to ensure all of your points are addressed.
3) Stay calm and make sure you're coming from a place of love.
-Be impeccable with your words. Don't waste time arguing.
4) Be ready to receive feedback.
-You can't allow anger or hurt to cloud the discussion. You also may need to walk away until you can move forward in a positive manner.
5) You have to ensure understanding.
-Reiterate your feedback and hold them accountable to what you expect.
6) You have to be willing to move on after the feedback is given.
-You can't hold a grudge. You have to be willing to move forward without throwing it back in the person's face. We can't hold people prisoner to things in the past.
