Just say yes...well maybe not. I find reasons on both sides of the fence.
I embrace the idea to say yes rather than no in most cases.
It's a tricky balance. If we want to be creative we need to have time to ourselves, which involves the use of No to set our boundaries. If we want people to see us & notice what we do, we need to say Yes. That eats into our time. What is the trade off needs to be figured out in each situation.
The cost of saying yes. Interesting article. In depth thoughts about
saying no to keep your time protected.
Ran across the idea of Yes...if. A good exercise to use
in our own heads to determine which way to go?
Maybe "yes and" is the best idea.
Negotiation is an art form. Why it's OK to say no.
The A to Z challenge is about saying yes to a big commitment. The lessons learned along the way are well worth the effort. That might be the key, to weigh the benefit.
How do you decide whether to say yes or no to a request?
By weighing the benifit of each :)
