I made that same mistake a few years back. Sold too much and when winter dragged on, ran awfully low on my personal supply. Never again! I put up twice what I think I will need for myself and then still leave a cord or two unsold for me or family member or close friend. If it just sits, it will be the first wood I sell next season.
I do this every year, I just burn stuff that is not salable, that means stuff that I can bring home today to burn tonight. I am working up a bunch of hedge, and I am keeping all of the dead branches. But I never have enough left to sell this time of year either. I still have not used the furnace yet this winter.
