Just tell them the truth instead of making up easily solvable excuses.
This is the way. Life gets so much easier when you live by honesty and surround yourself with others who also live by it.
Sometimes I cancel plans with a simple, "Hey, I had a long day and I'm pretty sapped for social energy right now. Could we do something tomorrow/on the weekend/next week instead?"
People who get it, get it. People who don't get it, aren't people I'd likely hang out with in the first place.
