Summary
Have you ever found yourself saying yes to things that don't light you up? In this episode, we're talking about how to weed out the unnecessary and focus our energy on the activities, relationships, and pursuits that truly resonate with us. By honing in on what works, we can ensure that our time and energy are being spent in ways that align with our values, contribute to our goals, and enrich our lives.
Some topics we’ll dive into:
- Stop-Start-Continue Framework: A method to identify what's not serving you, what you could start doing, and what's working well.
- The Art of Saying No: Why saying no to distractions and energy-drainers is empowering and how it frees up space for what truly matters.
- Strategies to Improve Your 'No': Practical tips on how to practice saying 'No' and stick to your priorities.
- Progress Not Perfection: A reminder to focus on intentional actions rather than chasing perfection.
Enjoy!

| 0:28.4 | It's either a hell yeah or it's a no. |
| 0:31.6 | It's the idea that we need to prioritize the things that light us up and it's the best way |
| 0:36.7 | to focus our energy to say no to the things that don us up and it's the best way to focus our energy to say no to the things |
