I really wanted to say “yes” to her. I felt my desire to oblige, yet physiologically, I also felt the pressure of adding one more thing on my very full plate. I took a breath and explained why I could not meet her request. She was fine with it and the conversation happily continued.

Upon reflection I thought how much this is an issue for so many of us full plate types.

My good friend Pat Haddock is a communication expert and trainer, I asked her to share some of her wisdom here on this topic. Please give a warm welcome to our first guest blogger.

Setting Boundaries by Patricia Haddock

“No” is a small word with great power. Saying no more often can be hard, but it is one of the best tools you have for putting more time in your life.

Start by keeping your goals in mind. Say no to anything that takes you away from your goals or does not increase your productivity. This doesn’t mean that you avoid unpleasant or difficult tasks. The key is to keep your goals and priorities in focus.

Saying “yes” when you mean “no” can lead to feelings of resentment and anger. This can be more damaging to your relationships in the long run than saying “no” when you mean “no.”

Sometimes, saying “no” isn’t easy. Many people were raised to please others, not themselves and feel that if they say “no,” they will lose friends and associates. So, how do you say “no” without alienating others?

• Speak courteously and politely.

• Make “no” the first word you say and keep your statements simple and direct. “No, I can’t do that.” “No, I won’t be able to do that.”

• Give a reason if appropriate, but keep it short and straightforward.

• Show that you understand the situation. Remind people of your roles and responsibilities.

• State the consequences of saying “yes.”

If you’re not sure whether you want to say “no” or “yes,” ask for time to think it over. Be specific about when you will have an answer.

Let me be clear however. You do not want to write for the sake of writing your mission is to provide value. Tips, ideas, resources, or strategies that your clients and potential clients can apply immediately without ever picking up the phone to hire you.

As someone who does a lot of writing on a regular basis, I find there are certain words that I have to use the spell check over and over and I bet you have a similar experience. In that vein, here is a list of 25 often used, commonly misspelled words, of course spelled correctly.

I have put them in a column so that you can print out the list and post it on the very edge of the far left side of your monitor to review everyday to learn once and for all the words on this list that have delayed your creative process in the past. I recommend you highlight the ones that give you the most grief.

I hope you find this a valuable tool.
