When deciding to say yes or no to the future commitment, gig, thing…imagine yourself getting out of bed that morning, looking at your calendar and seeing that commitment, gig, thing on your calendar.
Yes or no?
***This is not a decision paradigm for all of life. You’re gonna have to do a lot of things you don’t want to do. But reframing the ‘hey can you do this gig in three weeks for me for $100’ is helpful. The easiest thing to do in the moment is say yes to your buddy. But when that day comes three weeks later, you wish you would have been nicer to yourself.
