Do you ever feel guilty over saying no? It’s more common than you think.
The thing is, time is something we never get back – so it’s important to make the most of everyday and spend our time wisely.

Have a Script
Having a “saying no” script or plan can be very helpful.
Here are a few phrases you can use the next time you’re afraid to say no…

3) “Unfortunately my calendar is full. I hope you all have fun!”
