I’m working on getting better at saying no to extra responsibilities without feeling guilty. Still a work in progress. How do you set that boundary professionally?

I explain why I cannot take on an extra responsibility, but I do appreciate it when somebody thought of me to take it on. At a certain point, you can take on so much that you will struggle, and the work will struggle. Best to scale back before that happens.

I understand that! It is nice to know someone thought of you for a certain task, but it can become too much if you’re not careful!

I remind myself that I matter too. If I wouldn't want to see a friend or loved one spreading themselves too thin, then why should I tolerate that for myself?

That’s such a healthy way to look at it! Reminding yourself that you’re just as valuable as others is so important!

I think a good way of setting that boundary is to explain what tasks you have ongoing and how to reprioritize if that new responsibility is something they want you to focus on now

I agree with this, but some management just doesn’t call seem to care about prioritizing certain tasks. It’s more of a “oh well, get it all done” situation.

This might be philosophical but wanted to understand if we should get satisfied and be happy with what we have or keep striving for more?

Reason I am asking this is - I earn close to 1.5 lakhs every month and if someone had told me this during my college days I would have taken it eyes closed thinking this is more than enough. But today, I am not able to be satisfied and I don't want this to become an affliction so thought to share with others here and get to know the general sentiments.

I don’t anticipate any hiccups in the background check but is it wise to wait until the background check is complete before turning in my notice?
