Whenever I use "as soon as possible/you can", I somehow feel as if I force a counterpart to do something urgently.
For example, I write on an email, "Could you give me a reply asap?"
Then I feel I would say, "Reply already! Hurry up!"
Although it's just my own feeling, I've been wondering if there is more soft and polite way. Then I found "at one's earliest convenience."
I'm not sure how the difference is between them for native speakers, but I'm quite satisfied with finding this idiom. (^o^)
