A useful no

Focus · Little Light original

Every worthwhile commitment takes up space in a real day. It asks for attention, preparation and the energy to follow through after the initial conversation is over. Before you say yes to one more thing, look at the promises you have already made. Consider what saying yes would quietly take away from them. You can decline an opportunity with gratitude and still be ambitious. You can leave a door unopened because you have chosen to walk properly through another. Protecting your attention is one way to take your own work seriously. Let your calendar tell the truth about what you want to do well.
