Thanks. I particularly like the opportunity cost part. There is only so much we can fit into a life and we're crazy to fill it up by saying Yes to things that are unimportant. Last week I published an article called "How to Say No", which works in well with yours. Maybe you'd be interested in checking it out? http://www.lifegoalaction.com/how-to-say-no/ Thanks Tom Hi Shine

Yes, marbles - I really like this word... And I really like your post which lead me to think deeper about the topic. Interesting that you mention the 4-Hour Work Week for I just started reading it this morning (up to p. 36), keep noding my head (and laughing all the way...). So far I don't think it's negative - I think Tim the author is a really smart guy in implementing the 80/20 rule that you can basically achieve more by focusing on the essential and leveraging your efforts. We may talk more about that when I finish it but so far I think he has some points. One thing that I really share is that being locked to the desk during the best years of our lives may not be the best / only way we can live our lives. We may have to make some choices, take some risks and change some habits though if we don't follow the mainstream. So much for now. Really nice meeting you and I will visit often. Nice weekend.

I remember seeing a link here from Problogger that I didn't get to yet, so I'm hitting 2 birds with one stone. I can see how our two posts go together and I like th point you made. Have you read "The 4-Hour Work Week", it has a part that says you have to say NO to requests. I don't know if I'd recommend the book, I've only skimmed it and my mom says it's very negative, although I haven't seen anything like that so far. What are the big rocks of your life? No (jokingly)... that is not worded right... it's marbles and your juggling them. <a href="http://ledgerpad.ath.cx/life/life-is-a-game" rel="nofollow">http://ledgerpad.ath.cx/life/life-is-a-game</a>, this post has another way of putting it. It's has a great quote from Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas (I haven't read the book though.) I didn't want to put it here because it takes up a lot of space.
