Don’t be afraid to edit the ask
Naturally, you can’t always say no to a request. Sometimes part of it is within your job description or you just would like to help, but don’t want to sacrifice too much. It doesn’t always have to be a “yes” or a “no.” You can say, “What about this instead?” For example, if someone wants you to stay late help with a project one night, you can say, “I can’t do that but if you want to do a draft you can send it to me and I’ll look at it at home.”
