Why You Need To Say “No” More Often
There was a point in time where I thought that I could do it all. Once that happened, any request that came my way immediately turned into me saying “yes”. Even if deep down I actually wanted to say no. This ultimately ended up with me getting major burn out and I found myself going from task to task, never quite knowing what my priorities were. So in this article I want to talk to you about why you need to say “no” way more often than you probably are.
Priorities
I could probably write an entire book about why you need to get your priorities straight. The fact is, as you grow older and older you very likely have less and less free time. Whether it’s because you’re working, going to school, building a family or just maintaining your relationships with other people, in 2021 we’re bombarded by things we not only need to do, but also things we want to do. That’s why being able to prioritize is so important, if you keep saying yes to everything that comes your way you’re going to find yourself not only burnt out but you’ll find that you’ve accomplished very little in regards to the things that you consider the most important. Say no to the things at the bottom of your list and choose to say yes to the things you believe to be the most important aspects of your life.
