Summary
This week, I’m giving you an exclusive sneak peek into a chapter of my book, The Joy of Missing Out, that’s all about finding your yes. Oftentimes, the pledge of doing #allofthethings can lead us into spending our time doing things that we don’t necessarily love or that don’t actually matter to us. This chapter teaches you how to sort through the noise in life and uncommit to the things that don’t bring you joy. I share what your yes should feel like, why quitting doesn’t equate to failure, and how to prioritize ourselves by learning to say no.
What’s In This Episode:
A sneak peek into chapter 11 of The Joy of Missing Out
The art of learning when your answer should be yes or no
My favorite yes, and the sacrifices my family and I made to get there
Being pulled in too many directions and how this hinders us from making the impact we want
Making a commitment to your schedule and what’s important to you
Having a go-to phrase ready to give yourself space to consider opportunities

| 0:22.2 | dalton.com slash podcast. And now here's your host, Tanya Dalton. Hello, hello everyone. Welcome to |
| 0:31.1 | Productivity Paradox. I'm your host, Tanya Dalton, and this is episode 141, Finding Your Yes. |
| 0:39.3 | And that's what it's all about. |
| 0:40.8 | It really is not about saying no. |
| 0:43.3 | It is about finding your unique yes. |
| 0:46.9 | That's what we're going to be talking about today, but we're going to do it in a very, very different way than anything we've done before on the podcast. |
| 0:55.8 | This idea of finding your yes is something I really dove into with the book. So I have an entire chapter dedicated to finding |
| 1:01.5 | your yes. And so I thought about, you know, would it be good to do an episode where we talk about |
| 1:06.0 | that chapter or should I just give you a little bit of a sneak peek at that chapter? So what I'm going to do today |
| 1:14.1 | is I'm actually going to play the audiobook of chapter 11. You're going to hear the entire chapter |
| 1:19.5 | of chapter 11 from the joy of missing out. So it's going to be a slightly bit longer than our |
| 1:25.3 | normal podcast episode, but I really didn't want to chop it up |
| 1:28.0 | and I didn't want to dice it up and just give you part of it. I wanted to give you the whole thing |
| 1:32.5 | so you could truly enjoy it. And yes, it's me reading the audiobook. I read the entire book myself, |
| 1:38.9 | which was really important to me because a lot of what I talk about in the book is very personal. I tell my stories, |
| 1:45.4 | but I also tell the stories of a lot of other women in all walks of life. And I felt like that |
| 1:50.5 | really needed to be my own voice. So I could sit here and talk about this chapter, or we could |
| 1:55.4 | just go ahead and dive in. And let's go ahead and get started. Here is Chapter 11 of the joy of missing out. |
| 2:03.9 | Chapter 11. Harmonize your yes. Do your thing and don't care if they like it. Tina Faye. |
