00:10:00 strategy called "little no" This is great advice here - getting more systematic about saying no and recognizing the difficulty of doing so can help reduces the emotional toll of saying no.
Most people feel comfortable saying a hard no when they can emotionally justify that now they're too overwhelmed to take on the task. But that ensures a recurring state of feeling overwhelmed. What a great insight! Instead if you strategically say hard nos even if you're not emotionally feeling full to the brim, then you better control what's on your plate.
I am fed up with people saying theyre coming to see me at weekends when i dont want them to. I find it hard to say no without an excuse. Then i end up having my weekend hijacked and regret it
