Being a giver is not about saying yes to all of the people all of the time to all of the requests.

Saying no frees you up to say yes when it matters most.

When you develop a reputation for being responsive and generous, an ever-expanding mountain of requests will come your way.

If you want to be a generous giver, you have to watch out for selfish takers.

I'm a precrastinator. Yes, that's an actual term. You know that panic you feel a few hours before a big deadline when you haven't done anything yet? I just feel that a few months ahead of time.

I'm not a fan of being inauthentic.
