Strategic Decision-Making

If you're anything like me, you have a lot of decisions to make every day. And those decisions are of varying levels of importance. I think if you've been in this headspace of trying to improve yourself and be mindful about your time and about your choices, you've already run into some content telling you you have to be willing to say no.
And I don't disagree with that. You do have to be willing to say no. You also have to be willing to say yes. And maybe you're a person whose natural tendency is already to say yes. Maybe you just feel guilty and you say yes when people ask you to do something. Or maybe you're actually inclined to try new things and you don't like to turn down opportunities.
So you say yes more often than you should. Or maybe you're on the other side of things and you tend to be averse to novelty and to new things, and you just say no. You like to stick to your schedule, you don't like change, you don't like being thrown off. And so no is your first response. But sometimes we have this idea that those are the only two answers we can give to a question.
