One of the most
powerful words
we can learn to
say is
no
https://flic.kr/p/6JMMkb
Why dont we do
this more?
Maybe we:

Feel obligated
https://flic.kr/p/c93c4N
Want the
diversion
https://flic.kr/p/4a4vtB
Dont want to let
other people
down
https://flic.kr/p/ooQXc
Think we can do
it all
https://flic.kr/p/9Jah8m
Whatever the
reason, not
saying no
creates stress
https://flic.kr/p/6yE6wa
We overcommit,
and as a
result, we
underperform.

We become too
busy to do
anything well, and
then feel bad
about ourselves

Realizing
that the world
will go on after
we say no is
empowering
https://flic.kr/p/9nhLy9
We learn that
we can say no
and our friends
will still love us

Our need to say
yes is often due to
the expectations
of others

Expectations
can be manipulative
even if not meant that
way: It becomes
easier to go along
rather than let
another person
down
However, that
only perpetuates
the expectations
cycle and results
in a drop in our
productivity

with saying no
because there are
things we really
want to do:

We really want to
be a part of a book
club, spend time
with our friends, or
work to save some
some travel funds
https://flic.kr/p/7AV3c5
We have to know
what our goals are
and determine if
these activities will
help us get there
https://flic.kr/p/mhQ2sc
It is important to
determine how
much time a
new obligation
will take
If no is still
appropriate, be
kind in your no,
and even offer an
alternative that
may help them
more

so that you can
quickly determine

Make a
schedule based
on your priorities

no can mean that you
are more productive
and not
overcommitting
