If you are like most people, you probably find it awkward to refuse requests for assistance or invitations to events.
Sometimes turning people down is not only advisable, but it is essential.
Agreeing to things you don’t wish or don’t have time to do can create a lot of stress in your life,
which can be overwhelming. Moreover, if you spread yourself too thin by taking on too much work,
you might end up earning a reputation for being unreliable.
This is because you have so many tasks on your plate that you can’t possibly give it your all or finish everything on time.
The key to refusing requests and still maintaining good relationships is to explain the reasons for your refusal.
If you are already working on a huge project with a tight deadline,
make sure to convey that in great detail to the person asking the favor. Usually,
if you supply a good explanation for turning down a request, the other person will accept it.
