Is your yes-ometer tired of saying yes?

Is your yes-ometer tired of saying yes?  Or is it your no-ometer that needs to back off?

Sometimes it’s hard to get the balance right.  How do you know when it’s off?

Your yes-ometer is overworked when…

• You say yes to all meetings just because they MIGHT be useful

• You continue working even when it’s counter-productive to do so

• You consistently say yes to please other people

• You are mentally and/or physically exhausted because you always say yes

• Your over-commitment is having a detrimental impact on others 

Your no-ometer needs to back off when…

• You don’t do things because you think you might fail

• You hold back because you think you will look stupid

• You let negatives get in the way even though you know the positives outweigh them

The impact?

• A detrimental impact to your physical and/or mental health

• Burnout. Depression. Illness.

• You fail to achieve your goals or aspirations

Keep your yes and no-ometer in check. 

Ask yourself these simple questions;

• What’s most important RIGHT NOW?

• What WILL (not might) happen as a result of saying yes/no

• What other choice can you make?

What will you say yes to and what will you say no to today?
