There is much written about the benefits of saying no, and focusing our limited time on our most important work.
So when I see a new way to think about this idea, it grabs my attention. James Clear did just that this week.
When you say no, you are only saying no to one option.
When you say yes, you are saying no to every other option.
It’s easy to say yes to one person’s request. But would we still make that decision if we had to say consciously say no to everything else?
It puts things in perspective huh?
