Yes

I know a good “no” can free up time and resources for the important.

I need to say yes to my kids.

I need to say yes to books I want to read.

I need to say yes to exercising.

I need to say yes to my wife.

I need to say yes to saving for retirement.

I need to say yes to products that will massively improve my life.

I need to say yes to weight loss.

The Siren’s Song of social media disrupts those yesses because it’s so much easier.

I need to say yes to that big project that will advance my career at work.

I need to say yes to meeting new people at work.

I need to say yes to breaking tasks down into smaller tasks.

I need to say yes to Pomodoros.

I need to say yes to speaking up in meetings.

I need to say yes to writing designs to explain my thinking.

I need to say yes to the most valuable task I could do now.

Email, slack, and the open web call me away. Fear and anxiety resist the initiation of any of those yesses.
