When to Say "No"

We all have to have some limits beyond which we will not cross, some boundaries.

I've been told loud and clear that one I need to set is on my bedtime.

I haven't been getting enough sleep, 2 times last week my day job called me really late at night to ask me to come in very early.  I pulled a really late night at camp when I was reading and enjoying the solitude...and then the day job called me at midnight, to ask me to come in at 5 instead of 7.

Another night without sleep, and it was too much.

Things didn't taste right and I felt like I was at the mercy of my body and everyone else, I felt like my coworkers feel most days.

So, who should you be saying No to?

For me, it's really anyone, and anything that will prevent me from getting enough sleep, but I will also not be allowing managers access to my sleeping time in the future, I will be better about silencing my phone,and better about setting my Opportunity Clock each night.
