The big thing is to, in general, not do markets if it makes the craft less special. The last thing you want to do is be stressed.
I found that I like only making things once or twice, which can be a bit difficult but it makes my crafting experience unique and fun. Dont get burnt out.
Find what makes you happy, rotate between multiple patterns if you dont like normal prepping, and set reasonable expectations and goals each week for what you think you can easily get done.
