How to decide when to say no

• The Derek Sivers way: “Hell yeah” or “No”
• If you're in unfamiliar territory: “Hell no” or “Let’s try”
• Many decisions aren’t permanent

Finish what’s on your plate first

• Identify the commitments that are important to you and your values
• What are your priorities?
• Where does an opportunity fit in?
• Goal: don’t dilute yourself

Alternate Strategies

• Stop thinking in terms of “yes” and “no” and make a counter-proposal
• You don’t need to respond to everything that comes your way
• Ask about when your decision should be made
• Defer until you have the time or it becomes urgent

Making Boundaries

• Make Yourself Valuable!
