Critical to improving one’s productivity and moving up the belts in 2Time is the ability to say “No.” Here are some ways, as contributed by a reader of this blog, YCC.
Things You MUST Learn To Say To Manage Your Time
- “Excuse me, I hate to cut you off, but I have an appointment.”
- “That sounds really interesting for another time perhaps, but now I’ve gotta run.”
- “Lets pick that up tomorrow, I’m falling behind schedule right now.”
- “Actually no, I don’t have a minute now, but I’ll schedule time with you tomorrow morning.”
- “Yes, I’ll be happy to…after my 3 o’clock appointment.”
- “Heard you wanted to see me, I’m getting ready for an appointment, will you be here when I get back?”
- “Sorry. If I don’t leave right now, I’ll be late for an appointment.”
