Saying "no" more often, surely but compassionately and kindly.
It allowed me to claim back some of my own time back.
I don't mean a gruff and negative "no". A positive and assertive no.
I used to be afraid of saying no. I guess it was due to FOMO or due to trying to avoid a negative reaction. I realized though that I don't owe anyone anything (in most cases) and saying "no" is perfectly OK.
