Saying yes to everything is the fastest way to burn out.
In a world where everything is finite, you should be prioritising like crazy. Here’s a great tip: Stop saying yes when you want to say no.Īnd if you’re not saying no to most things, lemme tell ya: you’re not doing yourself any favours. You have every right to say no without feeling guilty, and as long as you don’t do it in a nasty way, you’re not a jerk.
So how do you say no, no, no all the time without being (or feeling like) a jerk? Here’s the short version: just don’t be a jerk. It’s human nature – we want to be agreeable, we want to be liked, and we want to be kind. In fact, sometimes it can be so tough to say no that you end up giving in and just saying yes.
In life, you have to say no a whole lotta times.
