There will always be someone out there who's going to ask you to do something you don't have time to do. In an effort to plese everyone, you may say YES, This is a recipe for increasing your stress, and falling short of completing any obligation well. So everyone, including you, might be etter served if you invoke that owerful two letter word and jus say NO. How can you do that.  Some advice

Don't say anything when you're on the spot.  Take some time to think it over. It's OK to say, Let me get back to you about that later.

Be direct> Tell the truth about why you can't do what's asked of you. There's no need to make up what might be deemed a better reason.

Be polite, but firm> Don't build false hoe about what you can do. Don't say, I'll try. You'll worry about squeezing the request into your schedule or how you're going to say in the end that you didn't get it done.

Alternatives> Perhaps you know of someone who has the time or is better suited to fulfill the request. Or perhaps you yourself will have time in the future. This tactic shouldn't be used merely to get the person off your back or to postpone an inevitable NO>
