Three Steps To Let Someone Know You're Busy
Three Steps - to politely tell people you're not available right now:
- Acknowledge and honor the person’s presence.
- When the person inquires, stop and listen to the request.
- Politely decline in the present moment by stating your attention is currently elsewhere. Follow by saying once your available, you will respond.
Remember, all people want is to be seen and heard while setting expectations.
