Is that the best use of my time? (If it is, I’ll get right on it. BUT I’d like to ask up front just to make sure we’re all on the same page.)

Ask this respectfully and make sure to do the task well if it’s still given to you. But if you’re the kind of person who gets a lot done, your boss/team might start over-relying on you for high-output instead of high-impact. This question can help you be about high impact – moving the needle instead of just checking off boxes. (But you need good rapport for this question to work!)
