Originally about data speed, now about how much you can take on.
Direct answer
At work, bandwidth means your capacity, in time and energy, to take on more work. "Do you have bandwidth for this?" means "Can you fit this in?". You can say it plainly: "I am at capacity this week."
Using it
- "Do you have bandwidth to review this?"
- "I do not have the bandwidth until Thursday."
Clearer options
