If you don't want to answer the question you can just say no ;)

Launching soon!
Learned it by prioritising what is actually important to me and then looking at the bigger picture. I'm really dialed in right now and anything that doesn't "fit" in, I just say no. Sometimes it's hard because I miss fun times with friends but I'm hoping I'll make up for it later :)

@luka_brzin Love the focus you have. It can be difficult indeed, but if you look at the bigger picture you'll be fine in the end.
When I hurt people I love.
@zion_huang That's a deep one
When I understood there were things I didn't like. I don't want to go against my voice of reason.
It really can be a hard one but the cost of not learning to say 'no' is a very costly hard one. Crucial skill that our AI coach Marlee can help with!
@michelle_duval Absolutely, not saying no can be very costly. Knowing that can help indeed
I think it's actually just practice. Do it as often as possible and then follow through
@julia_engelsmann Interesting one, but I think you're right
Learning to say "No" comes through experience, understanding priorities, and valuing self, preserving time and energy for what matters.
@notionxyz1 Absolutely. Experience is a big one
Learning by doing. Step by step..
After hearing it to many times
No man. Just no 😎.
After a burnout
Its still very hard, but consciously making the effort helps. First step is always being aware that you are a 'Yes man or woman.
@asmitha_rathis1 Yes that helps. You can only fix it if you're aware of your current behavior.
I stopped feeling guilty when I realized that saying 'No' would benefit my mental health. It took some practice and time to reach that point. You can't always say 'Yes' to everything without suffering the consequences yourself
@dan_burns Absolutely. You really need to keep that in mind
