What you want is more time. What you need are firm boundaries. Many of us struggle to say no for fear of letting down or upsetting people. While our intentions are generous, giving away too much time and energy can result in burnout, resentment, and stress. Without time to cultivate the parts of life we care most about, not only do we wind up dissatisfied and exhausted, we also give the world and our loved ones smaller and less joyful versions of ourselves. This book is for caring people who don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, yet also know they deserve to decide where their time goes. It's a quick read you can use for reference any time you feel pressured. The book presents 50 specific phrases, organized according to settings and situations, and explains effective ways to use them, with examples. From "Let me think on it and get back to you" to "That's outside my scope," you will find magic words that keep the kindness but drop the obligation. PLEASE NOTE: This is a short book! It is organized to promote reflection by placing each phrase on its own page. Please choose the Kindle version if you would like to conserve paper.
