Do’s
Ask some time to make a decision. This time will provide you reasons to do the work or to deny.
Collect the genuine reasons for your denial and write them down on the piece of paper, and have realistic analysis towards these points.
Find out the main reason you are worried for:
Is it because you are not sure about your capacities to complete that task?
Is it because will affect your present workload?
For the reason that you are planning a break during that span?
Simply because you think -“this is not my business.”
Think over the opportunities you are going to miss by saying “no” to this task.
List them down. Think all “pros and corns” of your decision. First of all, ask yourself whether your “no” is reasonable? Because, “Conscience is the supreme judge”
If you feel your negation is reasonable, then:
Take the permission to discuss the issue first:
Take the appointment with him or her in advance to discuss the topic. Inform him your motive in advance. That will prepare his/her mindset.
Manage to tell him all the files you are working upon and their approximate dates of
completion:
It will give him an idea about your workload.
It will remind him that you are already working heard.
He may give you some span to finish the tasks you are already working first and then
move towards new one.
If you do not consider yourself fit for the work, admit your limitations. Tell him clearly that “wrong man doing for the job spoils both”. Actually, by doing so:
You are saving both: yourself and the company.

Inquire the deadlines of your submissions and define that how it is merely impossible to finish them properly if you accept this new task. It may help by possible solutions without hurting both sides.

work overtime.
