Q2: HOW EASY IS IT TO SAY “NO” TO YOURSELF? #prodchat #productivity
-
@nmhouston I begin writing NO, looking for an answer on Why I use it so poorly. #ProdChat
-
@nmhouston I discover that you can use something good with others that you don’t do with yourself #prodchat
-
RT @thehealthmaven: A2 – I have been more intentional over the past few years to integrate work/life – getting better at saying no #prodchat
-
@thehealthmaven and I am sure, that it is a constant effort to kept yourself on that intention #Prodchat
-
@JessaBahr what’s #prodchat? -
Agree! RT @IsaPinaud: A2 We think we are great at saying no to ourselves, but we subconsciously avoid it. #prodchat
-
@nmhouston I agree When I say said NO, it’s not with the goal of be negative, is use it well to be able be happy #prodchat
-
Q3: WHAT ARE SOME CIRCUMSTANCES PEOPLE SHOULD SAY “NO” MORE OFTEN? #prodchat #productivity
-
I wrote a post last week @ProfHacker for the over-committed: “Should You Say Yes or No?” http://chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/should-you-say-yes-or-no/45607 …/bprodchatfhacker/should-you-say-yes-or-no/45607 #prodchat -
@nmhouston As a parent, friend, I had said YES to things, because I felt guilty? I should had say NO.
#ProdChat -
Lies! @IsaPinaud: A3: “No! I will not hit the snooze button 15 times” is a big one for me #prodchat” -
-
@nmhouston Saving it now so I can read it later 🙂 Skimmed it and it looks very interesting #prodchat -
RT @JessaBahr: A3: When you can’t remember why you do something. Doing something because you’ve always done it is not rational #prodchat
-
@IsaPinaud is right — it is good to practice saying No — have a few scripts ready #prodchat
-
RT @nmhouston: Many people say yes to too many things because they don’t have a clear understanding of their existing commitments #prodchat
-
@nmhouston also for FEAR of what others may think of them #prodchat (conscious or not)
-
Story of my life. MT @nmhouston Many people say yes to too many things because they don’t understand their existing commitments #prodchat -
RT @nmhouston: I wrote a post last week @ProfHacker for the over-committed: “Should You Say Yes or No?” http://chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/should-you-say-yes-or-no/45607 …/bprodchatfhacker/should-you-say-yes-or-no/45607 #prodchat
-
@scott_bot we all have been there, one time or another.It’s something that we all need to learn #ProdChat
-
@JessaBahr Agree… They will cancel themselves, then the love ones. A lot of times NO is not used appropriately
#prodchat -
Q4: WHAT ARE SOME REALLY POORLY USED REASONS FOR “NO?” #prodchat #productivity
-
@nmhouston but that is a muscle that if you have not exercise it is so hard to use (and therefore to say and do) #Prodchat
-
Yes, @JessaBahr is right — not keeping commitments to yourself can be so damaging #prodchat
-
@IsaPinaud exactly! Then I get stressed because I can’t meet my own standards of perfection. #prodchat
-
@thehealthmaven I haven’t mastered how not to be a perfectionist. #prodchat
-
@IsaPinaud Am I doing it perfectly? 😉 #prodchat
-
MT @scott_bot: A project is never done, it’s simply stopped. People comfortable with stopping earlier accomplish more. #prodchat
-
@thehealthmaven Please come next week. Same ProdChannel, same ProdTime #Prodchat
-
RT @JessaBahr: A5 If you don’t say ‘no’ to what you want/don’t want you can’t say ‘yes’ to what you need. #prodchat
-
.@coachoncall writes about having Absolute Yes and Absolute No lists as reminders #prodchat
-
@JessaBahr and so many people do it wrong. #ProdChat
-
RT @nmhouston: .@coachoncall writes about having Absolute Yes and Absolute No lists as reminders #prodchat
-
-
Q6: HOW DO YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN BUILD A HABIT OF SAYING “NO” POSITIVELY AND PRODUCTIVELY? #prodchat #productivity
-
-
RT @nmhouston: An Absolute No list is a list of things you remind yourself to always say no to. Very useful. #prodchat
-
@nmhouston sound similar to what I called the Do not do list maybe? I will read into that. I love those kind of reminders #ProdChat
-
RT @nmhouston: You can practice saying No. And realize that it will feel awkward if you are used to saying Yes all the time. #prodchat
-
yes, @MaryKatharine is right — remember there will be other opportunities later, you don’t have to do everything right now #prodchat
-
