Saying yes and saying no, and mental bandwidth; ways to not get stuck
from Unstuck · host Andri Søren Haflidason
Over the years I’ve seen that creating a framework for how you say yes or no to work and to obligations in general is a fantastic way of avoiding getting stuck in the first place. Furthermore if you’re open and honest about these with yourself and others, you experience far fewer problems down the line. Another thing to keep in mind is mental bandwidth, and this relates to the actual amount of data and decisions that our brains can handle before they run out of capacity to deal with things that might be much more important to ourselves. You need to respect your limits, reduce the number of commitments you have, and create space in your mental garden, for your own sake but also for everyone else’s. —-Let’s get unstuck!!—-
