You’re exhausted. Not the "I stayed up too late watching Netflix" kind of tired, but the "if one more person says 'circle back' I might actually walk into the sea" kind of tired. You’ve tried the weekend naps, the meditation apps that ping you at the worst times, and the occasional bath bomb. Yet, Monday morning still feels like a personal attack

You cancel them by being honest, being brief, and realizing that the person you’re bailing on is probably secretly thrilled to stay in their pajamas, too. You don't need a three-paragraph apology or a fake dead relative. You just need to say no so you can go back to staring at the wall in peace.
