Haha thanks my man! Maybe you find a way to include this in one of your blog posts one day.... jk jk
Great idea. Great execution.

My man! Your early feedback was the icing.
Awesome work . It's always hard to say no, but this should help people over the hump.
Maker
It is easier said than done, that's for sure! Hopefully this helps people say "no" a bit more. Even a little helps :)
I rarely comment on PH listings, but this one hit home. So useful for folks like myself that have a hard time trying to say the right thing once, without having to come up with many excuses.

Thank you for the kind words! Means a lot. Excuses are easy. Being direct is hard - as a recipient/receiver I'd rather you be direct than give me an excuse like "i'm so busy right now sorry!".
All in good balance with saying "yes" ;)
Maker
Oh man, most definitely going to use this, thank you!
Maker
Love to hear that. Hope it helps you say "no" today.
It's so awkward to say no to things - so niche but ridiculously useful!
