If I am talking to my PM I will say,
&quot;It will take me an hour to fix that. But I&#x27;m working on project XYZ right now so it will be sometime next week. If you need me to do this first though, just let me know.&quot;<p>Because to me part of being a PM is deciding project priority.<p>In room painting analogy, &quot;Painting the bedroom will take about 2 days of work. But I am working on the kitchen cabinets which will take at least 2 more weeks. Do you want me to stop that to work on the bedroom so you can move in your bedroom furniture first?&quot;
