10 reasons to say no
1. Gives you room to say yes to other things in your life
2. Doesn't obligate you to do something you don't want to do
3. Gives you time to read, exercise, focus on yourself
4. If it was tomorrow and you don't want to go, say no
For events that happen months or weeks later
5. You won't hate yourself later if you regret saying yes
6. It gives you the option to say yes later
Better to say no and agree later than it is to say yes and decline
7. You don't need to come up with an excuse later if you have to decline
Nor do you have to come up with an excuse now.
8. Makes you seem like you're busy with other things
Which you are
9. Your yeses become rarer (and thus have more weight)
When you do say yes, people are grateful
