Challenge Yourself and Practice The Skill of All Top Performers: Saying No! #shorts

For the next two days, do as all good two-year-olds do and say “no” to all requests. Don’t be selective. Refuse to do all things that won’t get you immediately fired. Be selfish.

The objective isn’t an outcome—in this case, eliminating just those things that waste time—but the process: getting comfortable with saying “no.”

Potential questions to decline include the following:

Do you have a minute?

Want to see a movie tonight/tomorrow?

Can you help me with X?

“No” should be your default answer to all requests.

Don’t make up elaborate lies or you’ll get called on them. A simple “I really can’t—sorry; I’ve got too much on my plate right now” will do as a catch-all response.

If you try this comfort challenge, please share your experience in the replies below! I’d love to read them. It’s always a hilarious and valuable exploration of getting more comfortable with discomfort.
