I just sent an email to a client to tell him I can't work with him (purely because of time -- the client is lovely and his story is great).
I feel so guilty but I've found a really good editor to work with him (a friend and colleague) who can start right away. Hopefully they'll click and it works out for both of them.
I know the hustle is just bad for my mental health, and I need to sleep more and rest more, and I really truly don't have the time with the family obligations, but omg it is so HARD to reject work and money (even when the work is going to make life even more chaotic than normal and the money will not make up for that)
Sigh
