During those times, we decide to take a break to feel refresh, divert our attention from the work by doing things that we like. (I like wandering alone in the neighborhood.)

Saying ‘Yes’ to everything or everyone will keep your plate always full with a bunch of things that you are not even responsible for doing or not interested in doing.

You’re Not A Bad Person If You Say No

Saying no when you want to or have to is not going to hurt your credentials and reputation.

So when and how you should say no?

Say it when we want to or have to.

Set your priorities, check your to-do list, if you are packed then you don’t have any obligation to say yes. The task presented to you if you don’t want to do it just say no.

If it doesn’t fit in your timetable then you don’t have sacrifice anything to say yes, just be frank and say no. And it’s not going to make you a bad person.

Value Your Time

Acknowledge your plans, remember your commitments, and realize how valuable your own time is. When someone asks you to do something, just recall everything and you’ll realize you don’t have enough time on your hand to take on any new commitments. At that moment, the only option you’ve is to tell them, “I just can’t do it right now. My schedule is completely packed with things.”

Maybe Later

If you don’t find saying No comfortable or you don’t want to completely shut the door on the person then you’ve another option that you can use.

When you are presented with a task, just recall your schedule and if you don’t have time to take the task, but you don’t want to say no the person then you can say, “Maybe later, right now my plate is overloaded. Perhaps you can come back and check with me after 3 days.”

Next time when a person checks back with you, you might have some free time to do the task.
