The most expensive resource in development isn't compute power, it's focus
Saying 'No' isn't being negative; it is protecting the ROI of your output. If you say yes to everything, you dilute the quality of the few things that actually matter.
Prioritization is a hard skill, not a soft skill and I think a lot of us have been the yes man for a while and maybe to long to come to a point were no had to be the default answer.
That’s how you can save time and energy and FOCUS on quality.
Absolutely Agreed! In fact, Saying 'No' is the secret sauce in increasing ROI since it will direct focus to only on whats important.
You got it :)
Yes!
Wow, that easy. I stuggle to do this as my passion get's the best of me but I do understand and agree with the focus side of things.
@daniel_possiblekwabi_b57 Passion is your superpower!
The 24-hour rule helped me:
"Any non-critical Yes? Sleep on it → say No tomorrow"
Week 1: Felt guilty.
Month 1: Calendar freedom.
Quarter 1: Delivered 3x impact on core projects.
Your passion + selective Yes = unstoppable. What's one "passion project" you'd protect time for?
Awesome
No!
😁
Absolutely rings the bells!
Cool :)
