Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking cultures, openly listing one’s worries is seen as a constructive step rather than a sign of weakness. The word *preocupaciones* is neutral, while *inquietudes* can sound a bit more formal. Using the imperative ‘Haz…’ is friendly but informal; in a formal setting you could say ‘Haga una lista…’ to a stranger or a senior colleague.
