💡 Tip — Day 74

Every “yes” silently kills another priority. Before you accept a shiny request, write one blunt line that starts, “Saying yes to ___ means I’ll delay/ditch ___.” When the hidden trade-off is in plain sight, you (and the requester) can judge if it’s truly worth it. 🎯 Try this today: The next time someone pings you for help, pause 30 seconds, draft the single trade-off sentence, and include it in your reply—watch how often the ask shrinks or disappears.
