Oh, hi friends!

I just erased four things from my ongoing list of things to do, and WOW, did it feel good.

Because let’s be honest: I’m not going to pitch that outlet. If I haven’t done it in the last four months, why do I think it will suddenly supersede every other priority? I don’t want it. At all. And that’s OK to admit. You can’t want everything. Saying to yourself you might or you could or but they asked me! is a fancy way of covering up that you’re just not that into it. 

So, solution? 

You can email “thanks but sorry, not right for me” to the publicist, or “sounds good, but I can’t tackle this right now, sorry!!!” to the editor you’ve been ghosting or “nice meeting you but I don’t believe I’m the best candidate for this position right now and wanted to let you know so you can find the perfect person who is” to the HR person managing the job you seriously don’t want.

Or just archive a bunch of emails (that don’t require a response) and never think about them again. You’ll be shocked how little you remember them when they’re not staring you in the face every day. You won't remember them because you don't care about them.

I don’t know. Just. Send the thing. It will take you three minutes. Don’t let it hang over your head forever. 

Close some doors. 
Let it go. 
And enjoy.

Do you like these daily emails? Please share with a friend!

Thanks, as always, for reading.

Love, Kara
