I personally want to thank myself circa late-2020 who wrote a blog post every week. She's seriously helping me to craft a consumer behavior analysis.

When I was in undergrad, a professor of mine talked about the importance not just of good healthcare but accessible healthcare. Without accessibility it doesn't matter how good the healthcare is. Do all hospitals pay for staff to take language classes?? newyorker.com/science/medica…

Ooo! I learned from the UFYB podcast this great framing: “If you’re saying yes to something you’re implicitly saying no to something else.” Choosing what you’re willing to say yes and no ahead of time is super helpful. Also practicing no on low stakes stuff helped me.

Another reframe is that it may actually be helpful to others when you say no. If you say yes to everything you’re giving a tiny fraction of attn to someone and it may not be what they need. If it’s not a “hell yes” it’s probably a no!
