Sometimes a personal busyness algorithm isn't enough. I've been over 80% busyness for the past few weeks, but still I find myself saying yes to more things. It's conformity at it's worst.

So, i'm having to implement a new solution. It's not very high tech, but hopefully it will work.

I'm implementing the no-string method. Whenever i'm above 80%, i'm tying this string to my finger, to remind myself not to take on any new commitments, I'll just hold up my finger and say "string says no"...and it won't look like I am snobing them, because the no-string indicates that i'm saying no to everything.

So, if you see me with the no-string, that is what it means.
