Some of us have a hard time saying no to people.
If you struggle with this, stop overcommitting yourself by making sure you always ask for time to think.
For some, this is a no-brainer.
The key is to take a deep breath and step back when you find yourself entering the people-pleasing zone.
Saying Im not sure yet, can I get back to you?
is a step in the right direction.
This gives you time to think the issue through so you dont feel pressured into making a decision.
This puts you in the habit of asking it, no matter what.
