00:00:00.000 If somebody else asks you for something

00:00:01.320 that wasn't on your radar to do,

00:00:02.860 it's probably not the thing you should be doing

00:00:04.140 because you already thought about what you should be doing,

00:00:05.700 so you should just do that.

00:00:06.560 So I have an executive assistant playbook.

00:00:08.220 Everybody can go grab it.

00:00:09.260 Just follow me on Instagram, message me EA,

00:00:11.300 and I'll send them a direct Google link.

00:00:12.800 In there, I have ways that I've taught my assistant

00:00:15.300 to say no because that is probably the hardest part

00:00:17.600 for people to be okay with is having somebody else process

00:00:20.400 and say no on your behalf.

00:00:22.140 So I have these really beautiful ways

00:00:23.740 like appreciate the consideration.

00:00:25.520 Unfortunately, I'm already overcommitted.

00:00:26.880 My assistant says no to 98% of the stuff

00:00:29.380 on my behalf before I ever see it

00:00:30.980 because I've already communicated to her

00:00:32.480 what's important to me.
