I've talked about this before but still haven't come up with a good answer. Is there any good way to tell someone you don't want to do something for them just because you don't want to do that thing? Here's my situation ( Read more... )

I was only off Facebook for a couple days. I figured it probably wouldn't be a smart business move on my part if I suddenly cut myself off from a majority of the contacts for whom I write music. Also, every once in awhile, someone totally random will find me on facebook and ask me to do an arrangement for them ( Read more... )

I deactivated my Facebook account today. I found that I was spending way too much time on there trying to get other people to care about things that I was doing - to little effect.

I was reading The Subtle Knife today (The second book in His Dark Materials series by Phillip Pullman, the first book being The Golden Compass - really awesome books that you should check out if you haven't read them) and randomly thought about this ( Read more... )

Is there a polite way to tell someone that you don't want to do something without lying? In my case, there is no good reason for me to not do certain things that I've been asked to do. I just don't feel like doing them, or I don't want to do them. I feel like saying, "Mmmm, I don't really want to do that" will ultimately reflect back negatively ( Read more... )
