Later, as an adult, you may have avoided saying no because you didn\u2019t want to upset someone. <strong>But successful people learn how to say no to benefit their career and personal lives.<\/strong> For example, if your boss gives you an impossible deadline, it\u2019s reasonable to refuse to do the work or negotiate a different deadline.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to spend your time wisely, you must learn how to say no. Here are two strategies to make saying no easier:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Make a list of things to stop doing. <\/strong>These could be activities that direct precious energy away from what you\u2019d like to focus on. Write them down and follow them like a policy. When you share this policy with others, it helps them respect your boundaries. For example, one item on Canfield\u2019s stop list is to accept no more than five speaking events per month.<\/li><li><strong>Use the \u201cI support you, but I\u2019m doing this\u201d technique. <\/strong>For example, if the PTA president asks you to help with organizing their spring fundraiser, but you\u2019re afraid it\u2019ll take too much time away from your family, tell the president that you support what they\u2019re doing, but you\u2019re not going to participate because you\u2019re prioritizing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/spending-time-with-your-loved-ones\/\">spending time with your family<\/a>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Seek Great Opportunities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some opportunities yield great benefits, like increased pay or networking potential, while others deliver far less for the time they demand. <strong>If you focus too much on good or mediocre opportunities, they may consume so much of your time and energy that you can\u2019t seize better opportunities when they come along.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For most people, about 20 percent of their activities contribute to 80 percent of their success. Successful people learn to identify and pursue great opportunities over good ones, which helps them achieve their goals with less effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are three steps to assess potential opportunities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Make a list with two columns, one labeled \u201cGood\u201d and one labeled \u201cGreat.\u201d <\/strong>Write down your opportunities in the column you think fits best. When considering where to place them, ask how they fit with your goals and identify what additional information you\u2019d need to pursue each of them.<\/li><li><strong>Discuss your opportunities with one of your advisors. <\/strong>Your advisors\u2014people you turn to for support, expertise, and advice\u2014can suggest which opportunities best suit you based on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-are-you-curious-about\/\">your interests<\/a> and goals.<\/li><li><strong>Do a test run. <\/strong>Before committing completely to a new opportunity, try a small test run to determine whether you want to pursue it. For example, if you\u2019re interested in changing careers, try doing an internship in the new field to assess whether you\u2019d like doing it long term.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Seeking Greatness as Rocky: Sylvester Stallone\u2019s Story<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When Sylvester Stallone wrote <em>Rocky<\/em>, many producers were eager to make the film and pick its lead actors. But Stallone wanted to play the role of Rocky and produce the film himself on a small budget. He found a studio that would let him star in it and produce it for under $1 million. The movie earned more than $225 million and Stallone achieved stardom, all because he said no to good\u2014but not great\u2014prospects offered by other filmmakers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you often find yourself spending time on unproductive activities that add neither value nor enjoyment?\u00a0 Do you struggle to say no to distractions and discipline yourself to focus on what&#8217;s important?
