It might be an obvious yes.

Or it might be implied — to everyone but you perhaps.

Maybe it’s simply a failure to say no.

Regardless, before long your “yeses” will ensnare you if you let them.

Crowding out the work that matters in favour of other people’s priorities.

“No” takes courage. It takes tact. It takes honesty.

It also takes back your time.

In fact, getting good at saying “no” might be the single most transformative skill when it comes to spending your time on the work that only you can do.

Set “no” as your default, and be wooed from that position with care.

Claim your time as your own or have it claimed from you.
