When and how to 'say no' at work - without feeling guilty

Hey female academics! Want more time to work on your research? Or to live your life? I will teach you exactly when and how to ‘say no’ to the tasks that eat up your time at work - without feeling guilty.

I know. You say yes too often because you are concerned. Concerned that if you 'say no' you are likely to upset someone. Or put an extra burden on your colleague. Or fail the community. Or miss out on an opportunity. But it will be okay. You can 'say no' and still maintain your good relationships and achieve your goals - without burning out.
