Description
Carefully consider requests or invitations before automatically accepting them.
Benefits
Protects your time, reduces stress, and ensures commitments align with your priorities.
Example
Jordan often found himself stressed and overwhelmed due to impulsively agreeing to every invitation or request. He decided to implement a simple rule: pause before automatically saying yes. At first, declining invitations felt awkward, but soon he noticed his calendar becoming more aligned with what genuinely mattered to him. His stress levels dropped, and he found more energy for the commitments he truly cared about.
