The Ultimate Productivity Hack is Saying No

You may have heard that not doing something will always be faster than doing it. The statement represents the old saying of the programming fact that says that there is no code faster than no code. This philosophy applies to different areas of life , like there is no meeting faster than not meeting with anyone. That does not mean that you should not do anything, as you need to say yes to most of the things that you are interested in doing. But the important part is to identify the importance of each task. As it is not beneficial to use all the codes, as some of the codes can be deleted as they are useless. You have came across the fact that you find yourself saying certain things. Few days later when you check your task list, you have lots of things to do. At that time we find ourselves being frustrated due to obligations even though we ourselves said yes to them. Do not forget to ask the importance of the task when you are asked to do it. Many of the tasks are not necessary so just say “no” straight away. You will find yourself to become more productive while working on the important tasks only.

People say yes to too many tasks regardless of their interest to do that because they do not want to be rude, arrogant, and unhelpful to our surroundings. Most often, you should consider saying no to someone to whom you may need to work with such as your friends, family, spouse and coworkers. Indeed, it is not easy to say no to these people because we have a special bond with
them. Keep the collaboration mode on with these people because it is the important element of life. The idea of straining the relationship that can disturb our daily life in future is not good.

Due to this reason, you should be helpful with the gracious response to these people. Make sure to behave warm heartedly and welcoming when you are compelled to say no to any task.
Do not hesitate to say no because you would find yourself too over committed to the tasks that can have a negative impact on the level of your productivity. It will not improve your lifestyle so be wise while understanding the meaning of saying yes or no.

It is essential to understand the meaning of the words “yes” and “no”. In reality, they are not just the opposite in the meaning but they are completely different magnitudes in the commitment. When you say no, you are just refusing one option but when you agree to take one, ultimatel you are rejecting all the other tasks. Know the value of your time, be mindful that if you say yes to one thing you are going to spend your valuable time on that task while you can do it on the other ones. So choose wisely the most productive task.
