We assume others are impressed by how jammed we keep our inboxes, calendars, and to-do lists.

“I’m swamped” is our rallying cry.

However, after more than 23 years advising professionals, one thing is certain: the most accomplished individuals are rarely the busiest.

Instead, they’re the best at saying “no” and have mastered the fine art of prioritization.

The next time you agree to add another “less than important” activity on your schedule, consider saying no.

Then, watch what opens up as a result.
