Let’s say your problem is time: you agree to too much. I struggle with the balance of helping others and getting my own stuff done. My stuff gets done, but may take longer than I would like. At work yesterday, I was helping some other teams and saw they were going down the wrong path. I had, at this point, already told them I had to stop helping to get my own stuff done. But I couldn’t just let them waste hours doing the wrong thing when I popped back into slack during lunch. Queue my need to help, and I was reengaged to avert lots of wasted time on a time sensitive issue. Now I’m a bit behind today. My manager would likely say to let them worry about, do my stuff. But that feels wrong to not support others where you can. This is my “saying no” problem.
