Episode notes
Don't Say No For Someone Else
- Notice hesitation and avoid saying no on someone else's behalf; ask the question instead. Accept that a 'no' is often about their priorities and not a reflection on you.
Shift From Perfection To Excellence
- Reframe all-or-nothing thinking as a helpful-less-helpful continuum instead of good-or-bad. Aim for excellence: get most things done well most of the time instead of perfection.
Protect Health By Saying No
- Recognize that saying yes to work means saying no to other areas like health or relationships. Protect those areas deliberately because investing in yourself improves long-term productivity and results.
