Warren Buffett once said: "The difference between successful people and people of great success is that highly successful people say" no ", almost everything."

The idea behind this philosophy is that when your time for other priorities "and used to say" yes "to everything, you will notice your productivity suffer, increase resentment, and to keep stress.

While some people argue that "yes" often says more open to take advantage of more opportunities, wrote LinkedIn Lena Dunham joined the camp, say "no" and explain how it has worked wonders for her personal life and his career worked.

Dunham said he has not always said 'no' enough.

"A cocktail of doubt with the need for constant approval mixed convinced me that" yes "was the key to my like-ability," he wrote. "No" Yes ", what I have to offer? And so sprayed I generously built and as my duty and my resentment, so that my feelings of inadequacy. "

In his work as creator, writer and star of "Girls" HBO, Dunham said he will "mission" to respond at work on all e-mails after each task, given everything, and usually subsides pressure, really look "at Ball."

"But we can have a tightrope in front for so long, that gravity does its job will not be erased," Dunham wrote.
She explains that their personal and working relationships began to suffer. "Part of my job is to be creative, dive deep into the well of experience, so that enough time for sleep, employed by an iPhone and do a list of things had been replaced, but never ceased to grow."

Reality hit one night in the third season of "Girls" when Dunham was on deadline to finish a script. He had given his exhaustion and the "Girls" executive producer Jenni Konner and said that she had sent the script the next day, as Konner said. "I knew that tonight was not a realistic goal"

After the defensive and a list of the reasons why I had to leave everything, interrupted Konner, say. "I just wanted you to hear, so that you can enjoy your evening, do not put that pressure on yourself I just want you are realistic about what you do, and save yourself the stress can."

Now Dunham said he realized "that life do not have to an endless trot accommodate all be" Yes ".

By saying "no" more Dunham learned that the pressure of being always on the ball is often homemade, and to understand the people in general, if there are limits.

"People respond well to honesty, to reality. They understand. And so with this" No "," Yes "jumped everywhere back. Funny how that works," he wrote.
