E58: The one word you need for rhythmic, flowing productivity.
I need to get better at this myself. I'm sure you've read it before, but Derek Siver's "Hell Yeah or No" approach is what comes to mind here - https://sive.rs/hellyeah
Sometimes a full "no" (because it's not a "hell yeah") leaves me with a sense of abandoment.
That's one of the reasons I like putting the "hell maybes" on a "Not Right Now List".
They're out of sight - and so don't cause any unnecessary cognitive load - but I can always go back to take a look if any of them become "Hell Yeah"s.
I know it's not a new idea, but didn't know Derek Siver's appraoch.
There's a something that I'm working on with Charlotte Crowther that might be really useful for helping you get better at this! I know I need it!

one of my favorite books and human!
What an awesome title for a book. "No Is Effortless" - It's at the very least a great title for a stick note to put up over my desk!!
Hahaha. Does that mean you have the rights, or do I, for that title? 😆
Maybe it could be the title for your next book? I'm sure you've got a wealth of stories about what comes with a "No".
It's all yours!
Singing at the end of a pomodoro block! I love that.
I know! It's been surprisingly effective - and fun!
