What Yes means and What No means

People often forget the other side to a decision to do something, anything. Take on something? You are saying yes to that action, objective or issue. But you are also saying no to something else that would have had access to your time and attention that is now tied up with this thing you said yes to. Likewise, on the flip side, when you shed some things from your routine or say no to an ask, offer or engagement opportunity, you are saying yes to the possibility of other things entering that space, at least yes that you are open to other things and not the thing you declined. Particularly the “everything you say yes to, you’re saying no to other things” is the more challenging of the two prompts.
