Protect your time
As a leader, people will always ask you for favors or help with their problems. I try to help them when I can. But you need to protect your time and honor your priorities. If you say “yes” and are always stressed out and overwhelmed, it’s your own fault.
Time is our most precious commodity. Learn how to say no and carve out space for what matters most to you. It’s hard to have it all. You can’t be great at every single thing, but you can learn to balance your time.
— Dottie Herman, CEO of Douglas Elliman, a real estate brokerage empire with more than $27 billion in annual sales.
