Business/Corporate Communication. How to politely say I don’t have time in different situations.
- Let’s pick this up another time when we’re both better prepared
- I’m tied up with other priorities at the moment, but let’s revisit this later.
- I’d love to give this the attention it deserves, but today’s schedule is packed.
- Can we circle back when you’ve got a clearer proposal.
- This conversation seems to be going in circles, so let’s reconvene when we have more clarity.
- Why don’t you shoot me an email summarizing this? I’ll review it when I can.
- I think we’re not quite on the same page. Let’s pause and regroup when we’re more aligned.
- I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I’ve got a lot on my plate right now.
- I’m afraid I have to focus on some urgent tasks, but feel free to schedule a follow-up.
- It’s probably best if we revisit this when we have more actionable steps.
