Your New Default Answer to Invitations

Most of the time, questions and invitations result in a large time sink, time that you will never get back.

Copy my productivity system for Getting Things Done. Decades of research in a
timeless repeatable system.

No.

I’m convinced that’s the answer you need to give when asked for your time.

‘No’ is the answer when asked to join weekend dinners, late-night parties, and water cooler gossip.

‘No’ is the only way you can create more time.

These days, everyone wants a piece of you. If you want to do things that matter to you, you have to say no to things that don’t matter. At first glance, it’s a scary thought. But look at it another way:

  • Saying ‘no’ to one thing allows you to say ‘yes’ to another

  • ‘No’ is the first step to taking back control of your own time

  • ‘No’ is the only way to have enough time to work on things that matter to you

  • ‘No’ is how you can say ‘Yes’ to your dreams
