I guess I should start saying NO from now. There is no point of over-committing yourself.

Why people should say No? There can be major two reasons. Lack of time or lack of skills. If you don’t have time, you would just keep on delaying the person’s work. If you don’t have skills, the person’s work wouldn’t come up with a good quality. Then there is another dilemma. When people ask for help, one should help. But the fact is if you will say NO, they will surely find some other person.

The problem with me is just the opposite. If I don’t have time or energy, still I will do that for them. Sacrificing the things which are more important. Even giving that help is also important for me but then as I said they will find someone else.

So I have bought a new diary to organize myself. And I would learn the old forsaken lesson again. Start saying NO when you know that you have to say NO.
