Why Doing it ALL is Overrated

 

You’ve probably heard the phrase “more is more.” But is that ALWAYS true?
We often feel like we should be working more, doing more and saying yes to ALL THE THINGS.
But when you try to do everything, you lose focus. You feel like you’re pulled in a thousand directions.

In this episode, you’ll hear how saying no strategically can give you the opportunity to shine AND a little room to breathe.


Show highlights include:
- The counter-intuitive question to ask yourself when you don’t have enough time to get everything done. (5:10)
- When you say no, make sure you don’t enter this cycle (or else you might commit to the wrong things). (7:15)
- How to know exactly when to trim your to do list AND when you can safely commit to doing something extra. (10:40)
- If you want to be good at something, you need to say no more often. Here’s why. (16:00)
