Yes! It's difficult to say a ''NO'' to your colleague's request. But after saying a 1000 ''YES'' over the years, I realized only one person was badly impacted and that is me, myself. We kill the charm of serving by overserving at times. In my experience, we should create some rules for ourselves and follow it- like, work hours per day, how many thank you calls or queries to be answered, define your level of engagement with students/ parents and then don't push yourself beyond. So if your calendar is available to accommodate any request, great. If it already full, then politely decline or postpone the request, explaining that your calendar is a chalk a block. Trust me people understand when you say assertively but politely.
