June 30 Days Writing Challenge - Life Hack - Day 14: Catch Up Day!

Day 14. Today is my last day of writing two life hacks...after today I will be caught up on the amount of life hacks and will just focus on finishing the challenge up with one life hack per day.

Life hack 1: Learn how to say "yes": A lot of times a new opportunity will come to you in the form of someone asking you to do or try something. Say yes. I found myself saying yes to a whole host of new opportunities this year and they have made my life more interesting. Due to me saying "yes" this year I now participate as a board member for a non-profit, am a beekeeper, and an acro yogi. I have tried and come to love all of the activities and it all happened simply because when the opportunity presented itself I said "yes". Many things you can and will learn if you answer opportunity with a resounding "YES!"

Life hack 2: Learn how to say "no": At the same time, it is important to say "no" at times. This is all about life management and being able to do the things you are interested in to the fullest. "No" maybe the hardest word in the world to tell a friend who needs your help, or a co-worker needing your skills. However, sometimes there is too much to handle and for your own sanity, the word "no" is incredibly important. I would rather have an employee that said no every once in a while that won't burn out, than an employee that says yes to everything and quits because they are overwhelmed.

See you all tomorrow!
