SUMMARY:
--------------------
Clarify your needs. Keep a list of things you want from life. Know what you really value and live it. When you are clear about what's truly important to you, then you won't let your day be driven by randomness. Most of the time we experience burnout is because we say yes to too many random requests without gauging what matters. It's time to learn to prioritize what matters most.
Know where you add value (and where it matters!) When you are a high performer, you are constantly being asked for help, because you're good. If you say yes to everything, though, you end up decreasing your overall contributions. So, what are the ways you add the most value? What do you do that no one else can? Focus your giving and attention there.
Say no, say no early, say no often. When you get requests that are not aligned with your priorities or where you can add true value, then the immediate answer should be NO. Unless you or the other party can justify and convince you that this is where you are needed and can add unique value the answer is no.
Have a weekly honesty session. Every week, choose a day to reflect on whether or not you protected your boundaries. By actually tracking it, you start to see a pattern of where you compromise. You also get more committed to protecting your time and sanity. Be honest about what you're doing, the value it's adding, how much passion you feel towards it, and what you want in life. Then you'll feel more of #thechargedlife.
