That relief can feel like something to be guilty about, like you're supposed to want every piece you book.

But some pieces stop feeling aligned the second you sit down to design them. A cancellation isn't always a loss. Sometimes it's just space opening back up right when you need it.

Part of not burning out is learning to notice when you dodged something instead of missed out on it.
