Here's a little something from my other show, PR After Hours...I think you may need to hear it, no? -- Alex
Saying yes to everything is a fast track to burnout, resentment, and an overstuffed calendar of obligations that don’t serve you.
The real power move? Saying no.
No isn’t about shutting doors—it’s about opening the right ones. It protects your time, energy, and mental clarity. It helps you focus on what actually matters—whether it’s writing a book, training for a half marathon, or simply preserving your sanity.
Author Derek Sivers said it best: “If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a no.” That filter has saved me from overcommitting to things that don’t align with my goals.
