💡 The truth is that saying no is both healthy and necessary. The trick to doing it well is recognizing that yes/no is a spectrum, and the best no leaves the asker feeling like they got a yes.
Among the many good reasons to say no:
Impact. Saying no to things that don’t matter is how we work on the right things. Many requests aren’t worth the time it took to make them, and effectively saying no helps us spend our time on the things that truly matter.
Avoiding burnout. Everyone deserves to be a co-pilot in their own workload. Sure, sometimes we all have to say yes to more than we’d like. But on a consistent basis, getting really good at saying no keeps us from burning out or spreading ourselves too thin.
Leadership. Contrary to what some may think, learning to manage no is a sign of strong leadership. You establish yourself as a productive, action-oriented person with ideas. You’re generative, collaborative, and you bring people and ideas together.
