| 0:19.2 | Listen, I've been noticing something about you. And you and you and you, are you late again? Get in here? The show's already started, okay? You too, by the way. And me too. It's not just you, it's me and everybody. You've been saying yes too much to other people, right? I need a boost. I need a daily boost. I need a boost. I need a daily Have you ever been sitting around on a Saturday afternoon? |
| 0:45.5 | The week is finally calm and chilling, right? |
| 0:47.9 | You're on the sofa, you're into Netflix or maybe binge on like Guy Fieri or something on the food channel. |
| 0:52.5 | Then who hasn't done that? |
| 0:53.4 | Or maybe it's, is it cake? Tell me you haven't done that more, right? But you're there, you're chilling in the afternoon. And suddenly you remember you're going out that night. You're going out for dinner, maybe some friends, good friends. You really do enjoy them. You really do want to go out. But in that moment in time, you're like, why did I say yes? |
| 1:28.1 | That happened to me the last two weeks. I've been busy. All of itself inflicted. I said, yes, too much. It's okay. I wish, I probably, I didn't want to say no. I said yes, why did I do it? Today, I hurt. My legs hurt. I was at the gym yesterday. Walked in and Daniel, kind that I work out sometimes said, hey man, you want to do legs today? |
| 1:29.7 | Yeah, let's do legs. |
| 3:09.4 | Yes, yes, yes. Today I'm saying, why, why, why. I should have said, no, no, no. Do you know how that works, right? So we'll talk about that today as we get into the show. If you haven't sent me a note lately on Instagram, you should do it. You have an obligation every so often to say, hey, or something to me. Okay, you do. I do the podcast. You sometimes have to say hi to me. So, on Instagram, it's Hey, Scott Smith, or you can send me a note to Scott at Dailyboospodcast.com. It's your moral obligation to support your local podcaster. Okay. So I was in the kitchen and I was drinking some coffee. I do that. I'm like, yeah, sometimes I get a scratchy through it. I should not be drinking as much coffee as I do, but, you know, hard habit, old habits. So I drink this coffee, got my phone out there. I'm kind of scrolling through all kinds of messages and kind of checking things out. I keep a pretty strict schedule. I kind of ignore it. But if I'm in the kitchen in the middle of the day and I'm working, I'll kind of multitask, right? So I'm scrolling through all these messages. It says, man, they seem so urgent. When somebody writes me a message, most people are pretty urgent. Oh, they'll say it really nice. They'll go through chat GPT to make sure it's worded well. I can tell when you did that. I can't. You're not that nice. I get it. It's too slick. They all seem so important, but somehow I am compelled to say yes to lots of things. It's amazing because when I look at things, nothing dramatic is going on. It's just kind of a normal morning. I mean, they're normal deadlines or normal requests, things like that. Expectations that weren't announced sometimes, they just kind of, I don't know where they come from, but they just show up a normal day, right? But have you ever noticed that sometimes here you're just being pleasing? You're saying yes to people. You're saying yes to yourself. That's what you think. Because we think if I say yes more, if I help and serve other people, I'm going to get more |

| 3:20.5 | Why do your shoulders get tight? Why do you think, why am I doing this? |
| 3:27.3 | It's like I was agreeing to a thousand things that I didn't even agree to agree with, all because other people are kind of leaning on me and I'm giving these yeses out without even really doing much. |
| 3:38.3 | And sometimes without even saying a word. |
| 3:40.1 | Now, for a long time, I thought my life was complicated. |
| 3:56.2 | Because the work was complicated. That's what I thought. When I went to work and did things, I do kind of important work, although not always. It's hard to tell. Depending on if you listen to me, maybe it's important, maybe it's time. Big responsibilities will do that to you. I have a business. I have people I support, all kinds of things. |
