If it’s not hell yeah, then it needs to be hell no

As you reflect on your accomplishments this year and set goals for next year, keep the following advice in mind from Derek Sivers…

(Please excuse his language.) 

‘Your decision is not between yes and no. You need to figure out whether you’re feeling like, “Fuck yeah!” or “No.” 

“Because most of us say yes to too much stuff, and then, we let these little, mediocre things fill our lives. . . . 

The problem is, when that occasional, ‘Oh my God, hell yeah!’ thing comes along, you don’t have enough time to give it the attention that you should, because you’ve said yes to too much other little, half-ass stuff, right? 

Once I started applying this, my life just opened up.”
