Optimizing the Opt-out

The Problem with Opting Out

Did you know that opting out of things is a huge productivity sinkhole? It's true. Every time you say no, you're saying yes to the opportunity cost of saying no. It's all very complicated.

Our research team has discovered that the average person spends 4.7 hours per week saying no. That's 4.7 hours that could have been spent on something else, but weren't.

Solutions

• Implement a strict no-cancellation policy. Tell your family and friends that you're not available, even when you are.
• Use automation to say no for you. Train a robot to respond to your voicemail and email with a canned "I'm not available" message.
• Outsource your opting out. Hire a team of highly trained opt-out specialists to do the work for you.

Case Studies

We've worked with several clients who have seen dramatic results from our opt-out optimization program:

• John, a software engineer, saved 2.5 hours per week by implementing a strict no-cancellation policy with his wife.
• Jane, a marketing manager, reduced her email inbox by 300 messages by using automation to say no to spammy emails.
• Bob, a stay-at-home dad, increased his free time by 50% after outsourcing his opting out to a team of highly trained specialists.
