How to say "NO"
HOW TO SAY "NO" TO AVOID OVERCOMMITMENT.
Acknowledge Your Limits
Recognize your current workload and personal boundaries. Remind yourself that saying "no" is not selfish; it's a way to ensure quality and sustainability in your commitments.
Be Honest but Tactful
Explain your situation without over-explaining. Example: "I would love to help, but my schedule is full right now, and I want to ensure I give my best to my existing commitments."
Practice Assertiveness
Use clear and firm language, avoiding overly apologetic tones. Example: "I won’t be able to take this on, but thank you for considering me."
Respond with Empathy and Gratitude
Show appreciation for the opportunity or request before declining. Example: "Thank you for thinking of me for this project."
Offer Alternatives (If Possible)
Suggest another person or a later time when you might be available. Example: "I can’t take this on right now, but [colleague] might be able to help.
