o Are you confused about when to say "yes" and "no" to other people's requests? o Do you often say "yes" to requests without realizing the impact that response will have on your time and productivity? o Do you find yourself feeling angry and resentful during the academic year because you've said "yes" too often? You're not alone! Many faculty (pre and post-tenure) find it incredibly difficult to sort out when, why and how to say "NO".
