It is easy to say yes, and it even provides a warm fuzzy feeling at the time, brightens someone’s day and makes you a momentary hero. But reality sets in the minute you start work on the task amid an already overwhelming workload.That’s when you feel the stress as you glance at your growing “To do” list, start receiving the follow-up email messages, and think of the missed opportunities as your own priorities remain in abeyance.In this e-book you will learn how, when, and why you should say no, and avoid the negative impact that an inappropriate “yes” can have on your mental and physical health, energy level, and the accomplishment of your personal tasks and goals.
