To clients for uninteresting work.
To scope creep and stopping unbilled features.
To friends and family for social commitments when I know I’m spreading myself thin and may not be able to go through or not be fully present.

It is still scary to do it everytime but it also makes my Yeses a more conscious choice instead of being the de-facto option.
