Learn the art of saying no

I've already reviewed the book Tribe of the Mentors by Tim Ferris in this post, and I urge you to pick it up and read it (it's a huge beast!). It's worth it.

While reading it today I came across interviewee Sarah Elizabeth Lewis (the book is a collection of interviews) who mentioned her Harvard colleague Robin Bernstein, who wrote this paper titled "The Art of No." 

DROP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND READ IT NOW.

It'll take you 5 minutes.

It'll save you 5 years of writing time. Or more.

We tend to say ye...
