Ten Productive Questions

Should I Say Yes to This?

Listen Later

Saying “yes” to almost anything presented to you is just like the shiny object syndrome and it can lead to frustrations not only for yourself but to other people dragged into the situation just because someone said yes.  This stems out from the two important factors that deal mostly with our thoughts: the  first factor deals with how we feel when faced by a tempting situation or opportunity and the second is emotionally driven.

We will be exploring a very interesting topic today in this fourth episode of Ten Productive Questions Podcast, which is very important to understand in order to prevent frustrations from adversely affecting our productivity. Join Christian and David in this episode as they unravel the human perspectives in saying yes almost immediately, rather than saying no. Let’s dive in!
