Episode description

When being propositioned for anything, practice saying oh that sounds great can I get back to you in ____ insert appropriate time frame here. 

I typically tell people I will put it in your calendar and check back in closer to the date. Then immediately I will set a second calendar event for a week or a day or so prior to the event reminding me to check in about it. 

That way I can have time to flesh my schedule out and decide with adequate reflection if it’s something I actually do want to attend or I just felt obligated to in the heat of the moment.
