Read the passage and choose the best answer
Many people will take on as many responsibilities either to make a good impression and showcase their dedication to work or because they just cannot say no. Yet, an overwhelming number of tasks can set a toll on our work efficiency and mindset. Therefore, setting a limit on how much workload we are willing to accept can help us manage our time and concentrate on the most important tasks. In turn, we will be able to focus and be more productive in the most pressing tasks. In addition, we can start by determining how much work is ideal for us and then be sure and confident to decline any offered workload that goes beyond it. If we feel bad about not being able to help, just explain to whoever asked that we do not have the time to do the quality work they expect or that we have other, more important deadlines to meet.
