Saying “Yes” to Everyone and Everything

If you suffer from the “saying yes to everyone and everything” syndrome, it’s time to pump the brakes. When you overcommit your time, energy, and resources, the results will have you feeling drained, trapped, and even resentful. To combat this in 2021, start choosing things you genuinely want to do. Before saying yes, ask yourself the following questions:

  1. Does the ask help to build relationships with important people in my life?
  2. Does the ask match my core value(s)?
  3. Does the ask sound like something I would enjoy?
  4. Am I willing to be inconvenienced?
  5. Do I have the physical and mental capacity to do the thing asked of me?

If your honest answers are “no,” then it’s time to stop accepting responsibilities that you’re not comfortable with taking on.
