What's a good word/phrase for “something that may not lead to anything concrete”
I was passing a lead to a potential project to my manager via email. Because he's super busy, I wanted to say something like the following at the end of the email.
"I hope this doesn't add _______ to your busy schedule."
where ______ = something that takes time to follow up, but may not lead to anything concrete
What's a good word/phrase for that? Or is there a better way to end the email politely?
Thanks a lot
