Synopsis

If you feel overworked and under-productive these days, you are not alone. Our workplace moves at lightning speed in a million different directions. We are working more hours than ever, and at the same time, our workplace productivity per hour is slipping, even with the recent advantage many of us have by working from home. I blame it on the word “Yes.” “Yes, I can” more often than not really means “I think I can, I think I should or I am afraid of saying no.” This is hurting today’s workers who can’t overcome a mountain of tasks, even with the most sophisticated task management tools.   Instead of over committing ourselves, we should be saying the word “No.” “No” is a powerful word. Here are seven ways to wield the power of no and be more productive at the workplace.   1. Say No to digital clutter by cleaning up your email and digital space   2. Say No to coffee breaks-and chats with friends at work   3. Say No to perfect writing on internal communications   4. Say No to unproductive meetings if you can 5
