For each working person, the rarest resource is your daily time. You may feel like that you do not have enough hours in the day, only endless things to do. Of course, some of these things are not part of your job, such as other colleagues asking for your help or bosses making new demands.
How can we reasonably refuse them?
Just by doing the following three steps, you can usually make yourself and the other person comfortable while refusing them.
Listen patiently to others' requests
It's not simply hearing what the other person is saying. You have to stop what you're doing and carefully listen to what they say. The point is to let the other person see that you are willing to help, and let them understand that you've already known their needs. In this way, even if you eventually refuse them, they'll understand that you are not available, instead of not willing to help.
When we listen, we all hope that other people will come to a conclusion quickly. But when we speak, we instinctively（本能地）start from the beginning of the story. In fact, this way of speaking is not good for communication. So if you want to refuse somebody, just tell them No, and then explain the reasons why.
Provide an alternative solution
Maybe you really don't have the time to listen to the other person's request. In situations like this, don't just tell the other person that you don't have the time. For example, you may say, “Sorry, I really don't have the time right now. Is it OK if we talk tomorrow morning?” In this way, although you refuse him, he still can feel your support.
In conclusion, refusal is unavoidable, but you can choose the way to refuse. An inappropriate refusal may cause great harm to your working life.
A. Begin with conclusion when refusing.
B. Start from the beginning when refusing.
C. Even if your time is limited, it is best for you to do so.
D. Instead, you should give them a time when you would be available.
E. In addition, this willing-to-help attitude also shows leadership skills.
F. In fact, there has been a mature methodology (科学方法) for this matter since long ago.
G. An artistic refusal, on the other hand, may lead you to some unexpected benefits.

A. Remember past successes. B. The written word is very powerful. C. Don't forget about buying yourself a gift. D. Don't just write them down and leave them like that. E. Moreover, talking about your goals with others helps a lot. F. However, with a little effort we can learn how to increase our motivation. G. It could be something as simple as sweets or something greater like a vacation. |
