rewrite this as a professional message turning down a work opportunity to organize things for someone: I don't think I can take on the work right now. I work a physical job already and need to rest during my off days. I am getting a car tomorrow if things work out. I have been walking 4 miles to work every day for the last year with no vacation. I am hoping getting a car will stop this current bought of burnout I am experiencing. So it is really just bad timing since after I had the car and rested well enough, or before I had burned out, would have worked great.
Certainly! Here's a more professional and considerate version of your message:

Hi [Name],
Thank you so much for thinking of me for this opportunity. I truly appreciate it. Unfortunately, I’m not in a position to take on additional work right now. I currently work a physically demanding job and have been using my time off to rest and recover, especially as I’ve been feeling the effects of burnout recently.
After walking four miles to work daily for the past year without a break, I’m hopeful that things will improve soon—I’m in the process of getting a car, which should help ease the strain and give me the chance to recharge properly.
This really is a case of unfortunate timing, as I would have loved to help under different circumstances. I hope we can possibly reconnect about opportunities in the future when I’m in a better place to give it my full energy and attention.
Wishing you the best with everything,
[Your Name]
