A Thousand Small Concessions.
Some excellent advice from James Clear on the dangers of Yes.
Hello, No-Vember Readers!
I hope you’ve been kicking all kinds of goals this year with your newfound ability to prioritize the important things by saying NO to the things that are sapping your time and attention. Throughout the year, I like to share great resources and snippets from writers and philosophers who expound on the virtues of learning to say NO.
Today’s lesson comes from the brilliant James Clear, from his newsletter “3 Things” — essential reading for the time-poor people pleasers of the world.
"The more control you have over your attention, the more control you have over your future. And it starts with having enough courage to protect your time.
It's so easy to say yes. We want to be agreeable, helpful, liked. That's how time disappears and attention becomes fragmented: not in big chunks, but in a thousand small concessions.
What you trade your attention for is what your life becomes."

‘til next time!
Your pal,
