Ever been asked to do something you didn’t want to do?
Did you reply, "I’m sorry but I just don’t have the time"?
That wasn’t exactly honest but it was diplomatic. What would happen if you told the truth. What if you said, "Sorry, I don’t want to do that."
Would you hurt someone’s feelings? Perhaps. But when you’re honest, you get a great feeling of relief.
Over time, people will quit trying to impose on you. You will take control of your time. You’ll have time to get your work done. You’ll have more time to spend with your loved ones. You’ll have more time to do what you really want to do.
Try it. Diplomatic personalities will find it hard at first. But do it once and you can do it over and over again.
