Better Way Of Saying "I'm Busy" better way of saying i'm busy

You're swamped, but you can still respond kindly and clearly. Here are polite ways to say you're busy or need more time:

1. I'm tied up right now — can we schedule this for later?
2. I’m in the middle of something; can I get back to you?
3. I don’t have capacity at the moment.
4. That sounds important — can we find a time tomorrow?
5. I’m currently focused on a deadline and can’t take this on.
6. I’d love to help, but I’m booked today.
7. Can we postpone this until I’m free?
8. I need a little more time to handle this properly.
9. I’m unavailable right now; what’s the deadline?
10. Sorry, I can’t right now — can we revisit this later?
