Not to your important activities and maybe not even to some urgent ones, but definitely to all those unplanned & unimportant interruptions that detract you from completing your priority tasks on time.
And learn to say it the right way. For if incorrectly communicated, it gives the impression that we are outrightly refusing to do the task whereas the reality is we are simply negotiating for more time. The former can upset people leading to unnecessary conflicts whereas the latter is understandable and acceptable.
So SAY NO the correct way, in 5 simple steps:
Step 1 - State clearly why you can't do the new task NOW
Step 2 - Commit to WHEN you will get it done
Step 3 - Negotiate (for time between their NOW and your WHEN)
Step 4 - Fulfil your negotiated commitment
Step 5 - Manage emotions, feelings & ego
So get assertive, not over loaded.
