Say no without ending the relationship
Practice a difficult conversation: the limit, the pushback, and one alternative.

Say the limit in one sentence
The difficult-conversation scene opens with a manager asking you to take a new project this week. If the answer is no, say the limit before you explain it. A long preface sounds like a yes.
Stay for the pushback
The practice pushback is that the team still needs you on it. Do not switch your answer just to end the silence. Repeat the limit, then wait.
Offer one alternative
Give one thing you can do instead. A different day, a smaller piece, or a handoff. One alternative keeps the relationship. Three alternatives sound like a negotiation you did not mean to open.

Ask for the raise in a practice room first
Open with the reason you made the meeting. Practice the pushback. Leave with one next step, not a promise that the number will move.
