Use 'Why Not' Instead

Fear of missing out can be a real problem to making you say yes too quickly

So here's what you do Instead:

Change 'Yeses' to 'Why not?'

🤨Why is this better?

Because it is formulated like a question

- You are asking yourself a question internally.

⭕This allows you space to process the info and acts like a filter before you make a decision

Naturally you'll start to weigh out the pros and cons on your head when you ask 'WHY NOT'

Which means: you are still giving yourself enough respect and value to your time without blindly saying yes.
