Transparency in Workload Management

By subtly shifting the threshold of when to say no, one can effectively manage their workload without making a big show about it. Being transparent about one's workload by sharing a document with ongoing tasks and pending requests allows others to have a realistic view of the workload, leading to better understanding and more manageable expectations. This transparency helps in preventing misperceptions of laziness or procrastination, making it easier to navigate work commitments and maintain sanity.
