Learn not to say "yes" at work
Many times we end up saying "yes" at work, whether it be to attend unnecessary meetings or conferences or when a colleague wants a quick opinion on something, just because we fear we will miss out on new things or experiences. But it is essential to make the most of our time by focusing on the essentials: not doing more things, but doing the right things. Here's what the experts suggest:
Get comfortable saying "no." Reserve your energy for meetings or projects that will be the best investment of your time and will help you in your growth.
Focus on the big picture. Make offsets a common practice to filter out what is absolutely essential.
Be optimistic. Instead of striving to alleviate fear, aim for growth. If you believe in yourself and are confident that things will work out in the end, saying "no" to things will address your FOMO.
