Episode notes
Use A 60-Second Filter
- Before saying yes, run the request through a four-question filter you can use in under 60 seconds.
- If the answer isn't a clear yes, treat it as a clean "not yet" and protect your capacity.
Overthinking Is A System Problem
- Overthinking often stems from lacking a decision filter, not from a personality flaw.
- Too many inputs and no criteria turn every choice into a debate and deplete you before starting.
Match Opportunities To Your Season
- Ask, "Does this support the season that I am in?" to judge fit with your current priorities and capacity.
- Say no to good opportunities that are simply wrong for your present season.
