Just say NO

NO
NO

This may surprise some of you, but I have a hard time saying NO. The consequences of  my over-committment are not lovely, so in the New Year I'm going to be working on gracious ways to say "no".

A google search turned up this helpful list: 100 easy ways to say no

Some options include:

  • I'm enrolled in aerobic scream therapy
  • I'm teaching my ferret to yodel
  • I want to spend more time with my blender
  • I'm attending the opening of my garage door

Do you find it easy to say no? Care to add to the list?
