Refuse to encroach on your working time
Learning to refuse is one of the most important workplace communication skills. Only you know your work situation best. You must be responsible for yourself, manage your time and work well, and should not let others occupy your work time indiscriminately, thereby letting yourself fall into a hectic situation.
When deciding whether to answer the request of the respondent, you should first ask yourself: "What do I want to do? What I don't want to do? What is best for me?" You have to consider whether if you agree to the request of the other party Will it affect the existing work progress, and affect others because of your own delays at work?
Learning to refuse is the only way you can help yourself out of this predicament! Because this "refusal" can not only reduce your anxiety and release your stress, but also ensure that you have enough time to do the really important things. It’s not impossible to talk to colleagues, you just need to choose the right time and place.
If you misuse your work time on some boring talk, then you will not only waste the salary that the company provides for you, but also waste your precious life. It is actually very simple to refuse others to occupy your working time. You only need to do it: refuse them directly on the grounds of work. The office is originally a place of work, so when you use your work as a shield, it is definitely a good medicine.
You just need to say: "I'm sorry, I can't do this right now." This is not the time when you show weakness to the other party, so you must face each other with a firm tone, and at the same time, you can't lose the taste of helplessness and sympathy. Can increase a lot of favor points for yourself. If you have to explain why, you can say that it does not match your schedule, and then change the subject.
Most reasonable people will accept this answer. If someone continues to "offensive", they will be rude if they do so. You can repeat the sentence "I'm sorry, this does not fit my schedule."
Pretend to review the schedule to show that you are really not free. If the other party insists on asking you to join their conversation, in order not to hurt each other's feelings, you can choose a circuitous method to achieve your goals. In the face of the other's positive attitude, don't bluntly refuse, this can easily lead to misunderstandings between each other.
Be aware that you are dragged away by your colleagues because of good relationships. Although this takes up your working time, they do not deliberately want you to be embarrassed in front of the leader by failing to complete the task, so when you refuse, you must also consider the face of your colleagues. To truly achieve perfect rejection, we must pay attention to:
Be firm in your opinion, but you should let politeness come first
Give the other person hope and don't beat him to death with a stick. But at the same time, you can't give the other party too much hope, otherwise the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Remember, you don't owe any human debt to anyone. "This does not meet my schedule" is the best reason for rejection. There are only a few hours of work in a day. This means that whatever you choose to undertake, you have to limit your ability to do other things.
So, choosing clearly what you should do is the most important thing.
