Prioritize the jobs you have and extend the deadlines of the lesser important or lesser paying ones. Clients usually have a little bit of flexibility with their deadlines when faced with the possibility of the job not getting done.
I hate turning down work but if I'm swamped with good stuff and a couple dinky things come along, I tell them if they can't wait a couple weeks then it's not gonna work out.
In theory, I like the idea of passing on work to my fellow freelancers, but I'm too greedy. The client might like their work better than mine and go to them next time. I'd almost rather lose the job than give the client an (often cheaper) alternative.
Push those deadlines but also try to schedule your time well before you make commitments.
