A Clear No

A Clear No is a single-page tool for moments when you already know the answer is no — but your mind keeps trying to argue.

It helps you state a boundary cleanly, without turning it into a debate, guilt spiral, or justification.

Use it to:

• name what you’re saying no to (facts only)
• optionally name a single reason (one sentence)
• clarify what you’re protecting by saying no
• define what the no is not (failure, laziness, etc.)
• decide what would need to change for the no to end (event-based)

Not motivation.
Not productivity.
Just a boundary you can hold.
