The surprising art of discernment

saying no to more and yes to less for greater long-game fulfillment

Hello, Wonderer,

In this paid article, I’m unpacking something that I have struggled with and that so many entrepreneurs, creatives, and executives I’ve worked with have struggled with, too: how to say No to more and Yes to less.

In an age when possibilities abound and productivity is often mistaken for purpose, many of us wrestle with a paradox: the more we say yes to, the less we seem to accomplish what truly matters.

I’ve learned this the hard way. Below, I share lived lessons and tools for navigating the art of discernment, including a Yes-to-Less / No-to-More Idea Sheet you can use immediately. And as always I appreciate your responses, questions, and shares. Thank you!

Let’s dive in.
