LPT: When someone cancels last minute, respond with "No worries, I'll use that time to " instead of just "It's fine.
This changed how people treat my time completely.
A friend cancelled on me 2 hours before dinner plans last year. Instead of my usual "oh no worries!" I said "honestly perfect timing, I've been meaning to catch up on \[thing\]."
She actually apologised MORE sincerely than if I'd just brushed it off. No drama, no guilt-tripping — just a quiet signal that my time has value with or without them.
Works with coworkers too. Someone bails on a meeting? "No stress, gives me a block to finish \[project\]." They stop cancelling on you repeatedly because you never seem bothered.
The goal isn't to be cold. It's to be genuinely unbothered — and people can feel the difference.
