Say yes to the invitation that feels slightly inconvenient and fully memorable

The good ones almost always arrive at a bad time.

Inconvenience is not a warning sign, it is the price. Every story worth telling started with a diary that did not want to cooperate.

The filter is simple: will I be glad I went. If yes, the logistics are a problem to solve, not a reason to decline.

Say yes to one of these this quarter and see what it costs versus what it returns.

How to actually do it

  1. 01Notice the next invitation you want to decline for logistics alone.
  2. 02Ask only whether you will be glad you went.
  3. 03Say yes first, then solve the diary.

You already know if this is the one. Go put a date on it.
