Habit No 1 : Say No

One of the most important but often overlooked habits is the ability to say NO. In a world where we're encouraged to say "Yes" to every opportunity, it's crucial to recognize when saying "no" is the right choice. If a request doesn't elicit a "hell yeah" response from you, consider declining it. It's important to prioritize your own well-being and not overextend yourself. By saying "no" when necessary, you can avoid burnout, exhaustion, and maintain focus on your own priorities.

  1. Prioritize self-care over overcommitting.
  2. Remember that your career is a marathon, not a sprint.
