When your plate is already full, adding more can tip the balance. Here's how to decline extra work without ruffling feathers:
- Communicate your current workload. Be transparent about your commitments and deadlines.
- Offer an alternative solution or timeframe. Suggest someone else who has the capacity or propose a later date when you're available.
- Maintain a helpful tone. Express your willingness to assist in the future and your appreciation for being considered.
