If my husband has too many boxes open, I have learned to leave him alone and see what I can solve on my own. Usually, I can do more than I initially think and he appreciates getting to work on things without my interference/interruption. I can tell when he has plenty of boxes open because he has to ignore me for a while. I used to take it personally, now I know it’s just his multiple problem-solving mode. The sooner I leave him to it, the sooner his attention comes back. And if I absolutely need him to work on a certain box, it’s true, I just have to get his attention and to do that I have to be feminine and direct. Works every time.
