Why Saying No Saves Your Day Every Time

Saying yes to everything wrecking your schedule? One word can fix that - “No.” It’s not rude - it’s your shield.

When a request hits - a meeting, a favor - ask: “Does this fit my goal today?” If not, pass - politely but firm. “Sorry, I’m booked - maybe next week?” works.

I’ve dodged time-sucks this way - an hour saved beats an hour stressed. Studies show overcommitting spikes burnout - protect your day instead. Practice it - say no once today - and feel the relief.

In 2025, your time’s yours - not everyone else’s. Start small - one no, one win.
