Day #26: The "Shit I Didn't Say NO To" List.
This isn’t Black Friday: You can’t return Time if you change your mind.
If you’re still using a To-Do list, stop calling it a To-Do list…
Call it your “Shit You Didn’t Say NO To” list.
Reframe your thinking: Everything on that list will be things that, by definition, you didn’t say NO to. If you can go back and say NO to them, do so. Be ruthless. Think of each thing on that list as a valuable chunk of time.
This isn’t Black Friday: You can’t return Time if you change your mind.
You spend your time once. You decide what that list looks like (and hopefully, your calendar), and only you get to decide what’s on it. Think of how you spend your time the same way as how you spend your money. Budget things out: You can always make more money. You can never make more time.
I’d encourage you to review the previous 25 days of lessons today. Pick out the ones that seem most useful.
My hope with this course is to empower, not to prescribe. You know what works for your life and circumstances better than I ever could. I want to equip and empower you with ideas and strategies so you can make your own choices and do the things you want to do. I'll give you the hammer; you decide where to drive the nail.
NO takes practice. Start small, and work your way up.
Good luck,
- Jason
