The No List — Workbook

For every yes to someone is a no to your own life.™

That doesn't mean never helping or showing up — it means remembering that every yes costs something: time, energy, attention, money, or space that can't also go somewhere else. The No List is a decision audit, not a judgment of who deserves your care.

It opens with a diagnostic quiz, "What's Your Yes Pattern?", that sorts you into one of four patterns: The Guilt Yes (saying yes because no feels unkind), The Fear Yes (saying yes to avoid someone's reaction), The Habit Yes (saying yes on autopilot), or The Identity Yes (being needed is tied to who you think you are) — and points you to the sections that will matter most for your specific pattern.

From there, six audit sections work through Guilt, Time, Upkeep, Availability, Scripts, and Permission, including a Yes Tax worksheet that does the math on what a "small" recurring commitment actually costs over a year.

Ready-made decline scripts are organized by context (family, work, social, everyday), plus fillable "Send It" templates for texting or emailing an actual decline today. A page of permissions you don't need to earn, a fillable Letter of Resignation for formally releasing a commitment, and a 6-week No Repetitions Log for tracking your reps round out the workbook.
