Make It Easier To Say NO

To be MORE productive we often think of adding things to our To Do List. If you add more and get more done this equals more productive. But have you considered STOPPING some things? If you stop doing too many things and focus on what's important, getting them done and then moving on to the next, you may actually get more done!

1. Never say yes on the spot.
2. Don't feel like you need to give a long list of excuses.
3. Commit to no more than one major and one minor volunteer responsibility at a time. 
4. Keep in mind you do not have to say yes just because you are capable.
5. HIt the delete button when guilt sneaks in.
Try it out, it just might work wonders for your productivity. :)
