Instead of saying “I don’t have time” try saying “it’s not a priority,” and see how that feels. Often, that’s a perfectly adequate explanation. I have time to iron my sheets, I just don’t want to. But other things are harder. Try it: “I’m not going to edit your résumé, sweetie, because it’s not a priority.” “I don’t go to the doctor because my health is not a priority.” If these phrases don’t sit well, that’s the point. Changing our language reminds us that time is a choice. If we don’t like how we’re spending an hour, we can choose differently.

THIS.

I began doing this a few years ago and life has gradually become significantly more focused. People around me don’t lean on me anywhere near the way they used to.

Using the correct words reinforces your personal boundaries & also subliminally prompts the asker to reassess their own priorities by example.

For me, the ideal dog and handler relationship dynamic is a partnership. You, the trainer, are the senior partner, and your job is to train the rookie, have his back, and teach him everything you know, so one day he can have your back too.

Your dog is your partner. Train him accordingly.
