Yesterday I saw somewhere a quote attributed to Warren Buffet.

He is supposed to have said: “The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say no to almost everything.”

That sounds like advise I can immediately implement.

I fancy myself as least being a student of the “very successful people”. So I put it in my calendar an action everyday for the next three months “say no to almost everything”.

 

Let’s see what happens. Today is a Sunday. I have easily said no to

 

• switching on my phone before noon
• Looking at the news before noon
• Checking emails all day (it’s Sunday friends!)
• Complaining about anybody and anything…………………….
• Arguing with anyone

 

Well, I have said no to everything apart from eating my breakfast with intent, chat with my family and then finish the book I really wanted to finish since some days but got relegated by other “urgent’ stuff…………………..
