How to Say No and Reclaim Your Time

If your to-do list belongs to everyone else, this book is your reset button.

How to Say No and Reclaim Your Time is a warm, no-shame playbook for clear, confident boundaries at work and at home. Productivity coach Ava Kingsley shows you how to turn “no” into a simple operating system: short scripts, decide-once policies, and calendar rules that protect your focus, without damaging relationships.

Inside you’ll learn:

  • The Core No: a 10-second formula (Appreciate → Decline → Brief reason → Close) with 50 plug-and-play scripts.
  • Work guardrails: meeting purpose test, 25/50-minute defaults, trade-offs for new requests, and client scope control.
  • Home boundaries: favors, holidays, childcare, money asks, and “I can’t, but I care” phrasing that keeps things warm.
  • FOG fix: spot Fear/Obligation/Guilt and use broken-record lines like “That doesn’t work for me.”
  • ADHD/anxiety-friendly supports: pre-written replies, 90-second resets, body-doubling, and visual anchors.
  • Metrics that matter: track requests, no/yes ratio, stress, and hours reclaimed, then tune your system weekly.
  • 21-Day Plan: Week-by-week steps to install policies, scripts, comms windows, and team/family agreements.

You’ll stop over-explaining, start finishing, and feel calmer, because your yes and your no are both trustworthy. Clear, kind, and practical, this is boundary-setting you can run today.

Perfect for: busy professionals, team leads, freelancers, parents, and anyone who wants fewer interruptions and more meaningful work (and life).
