It'll be a lot easier to say no to the big, important stuff if you practice on smaller, less important things now. @Aimee - Thanks for sharing a real-world example, and I'm glad you finally stopped by and commented! =) @Karen – Great comment.

Just had this discussion with my Undergrad HR students - they are performing HR Audits as projects and nearly all of them came back after the first round saying that all of the HR people are overworked and the orgs need to hire more HR - I suggested that perhaps HR wasn't focusing on the most important stuff and taking on work that Managers could/should be doing.

Start practising now and when the hard stuff hits your desk it'll be easier to say "No" in a polite and respectful way.
