No. This is about feeling overwhelmed (X) and suggest to say No (Y), more often. It could also suggest stoicism or quitting or any other thing. Communicating that it is too much may seem like a very obvious thing, but (at least my own) experience shows that few people dare to actually do it. I know so many collegues who complain about the work load but they instantly buckle when the boss comes in and asks for something. How would the boss figure that you are at capacity if you never say No, or at least diplomatically list all the tasks you would have to drop to be able to do that and whether he really wants you to drop them.
