-
constantly discard what is not in line with your goals
- Focus attention and energy on the intention and the outcome will take care of itself
- Social awkwardness:
effectiveness and popularity does not go hand in hand - its better to say NO up front and feel slightly awkward during the process then to say Yes up front and feel resentful later
- Make your own priorities and decisions:
Otherwise someone else will make it for u - protect your sleep
- Unless feeling absolutely passionate about an undertaking say no by default
- Batttling sunk cost bias:
how much would I pay for this if I didn't own it? - would I buy this if I did not already own it?
- bringing nothing extra to the table
Treat them how they need to be treated not how u think they need to be treated - wasting attention watching the clock when needing to do something as fast as possible does not help the task
