> IMHO: in order to say yes you are usually saying at least one or more no's. Otherwise the lack of those other no's will eat you alive.

You are absolutely, 100% correct. Preach, brother!

Saying "no" kicked-off a series of events in my life that made everything so much better. It all started when my tech lead said he should say more "no"s at a scrum retrospective, and I it fit like a glove for me as well, I just didn't notice before.

I was able to move countries and actually enjoy life a little bit. I'm not saying you should do the same, but saying no to things made me focus so much better on things I say "yes" to. I feel like I'm actually living right now, not just passing by, which is ironic given the fact I've stopped doing so much shit daily.
