Unlock Your Productivity: The Power of Saying 'NO' | @ShadeZahrai #shorts

Do you say "yes" when you really mean "no?" I feel you – I used to do this too.

But accepting every request that comes our way can lead to exhaustion and a loss of focus.

The solution? Embrace saying “NO”!

In 'Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less,' Greg McKeown explains the importance of intentional commitments.

Don't default to "yes" automatically.

Learn to de-commit from non-essential activities and distractions to make room for what truly matters.

McKeown suggests three questions to ask yourself:

1️⃣ Does it align with my values and goals?
2️⃣ Will it help reach my desired future?
3️⃣ Does it offer a unique value that no one/nothing else can provide?

If any answer is "No," it may not be worth time and energy.

Remember, it's not about doing everything, but about doing what truly matters.

Let me know in the comments if you tend to default to “yes” when you want to say “no”. 👇
