TIME MANAGEMENT!
May 03, 2023Time is a precious commodity that we cannot control. We can only control ourselves about time, so we must be strategic about how we use it. Saying "NO" is a powerful tool to help us manage our time and improve our well-being.
Here's why:
- We've been conditioned to believe that being accommodating and selfless is a virtue. However, saying "YES" when overwhelmed with work can lead to burnout and reduced productivity.
- Saying "NO" can help us prioritize our needs and ensure we function at our best. When we take care of ourselves first, we can better help others.
- Think of the safety video on flights – passengers are instructed to secure their oxygen masks first before assisting others. The same principle applies to saying "NO." By taking care of ourselves first, we can be more helpful to others in the long run.
- It's okay to say "NO" – it's essential. It takes practice to say "NO," and it's a muscle we can grow over time. It's better to decline a request politely than to agree and underdeliver.
- Next time someone asks you for a favour, pause and ask yourself: "Is my oxygen mask secure?" Taking care of yourself first will help you be a more effective and productive version of yourself.
Remember, saying "NO" is not a sign of weakness – it's a sign of strength and self-awareness. So, prioritize your time and take care of yourself first. You deserve it!
