It's either HELL YEAH! or no.

I found this to be a very interesting article.

It is written by Derek Silvers who founded CDbaby.com and sold it for $20m.

No more yes. It's either HELL YEAH! or no. | Derek Sivers

Those of you who often over-commit or feel too scattered may appreciate a new philosophy I'm trying:

If I'm not saying “HELL YEAH!†about something, then say no.

Meaning: When deciding whether to commit to something, if I feel anything less than, “Wow! That would be amazing! Absolutely! Hell yeah!†- then my answer is no.

When you say no to most things, you leave room in your life to really throw yourself completely into that rare thing that makes you say “HELL YEAH!â€

We're all busy. We've all taken on too much. Saying yes to less is the way out.

...

The surprisingly great book “Personal Development for Smart People†asks you to think about the different areas of your life (career, relationships, spiritual, health, etc.) - and rate your satisfaction in each area from 1 to 10.

But after doing that, the next suggestion impressed me: it said to go through every area you rated a 5, 6, 7, or 8 - and replace it with a 1! That we should never settle for “it's not so bad†- and instead face up to what you really want.

In other words: No more “yesâ€. It's either “HELL YEAH!†or “noâ€.

Great stuff here, has really shaken me up, as I spend way too much time working on 5-8 stuff.
