How and why do we need to say no? As I’m gathering ideas for my upcoming dissertation prep course (yep, you read correctly~!), I reached out to a few colleagues for suggestions. In the responses that followed, I received a nice reminder that learning to say “no” is an important step towards self-fulfillment.

Some ideas for help in this area:
