What is the best way you've come across to say "no" to something (anything ranging from getting coffee to joining a company) while still making the other person feel as OK/non-rejected as possible?

Elaborations on: "Thanks, I'm sure I'd enjoy meeting, but I need to concentrate on [my main thing] right now". This is the truth, framed in terms that are pretty obviously the right way to live.
In particular, I don't think in terms of "getting out of" something. My primary obligations in life aren't to getting coffee with others; I need to serve those primary obligations, and often that means turning down (entirely reasonable) requests.

It often ends up similar to that - I often wish people good luck, especially if I'm really keen on their project, and will also sometimes express things I particularly like about what they're doing.
