Saying No

I’ve practiced saying no this week.

It does not come easy to me—at all.

But, by saying no, and declining meetings that didn’t really require my presence or serve my time this week, I’ve been a much happier person.

And much more productive.

And much less rushed.

And much more present.

It takes time to be comfortable with this.

It takes time—for better or for worse—in #biglaw to build the credit to say no more regularly.

I’m getting there.
