You could say I am a pretty busy person. I’m a husband, the father of an almost-college student and a two-year-old, a DevOps advocate, a CNCF Ambassador, an Opensource.com Community Moderator, a weekly newsletter writer, and a few other things (typing it all out makes me feel like I’m forgetting to do something). One thing I learned last year is that I need to start saying no for my own sanity. The problem I came across was how to say no politely and respectfully.
