Are you aware that you can suspend a hold? if you see that there is only a short waiting list ahead of you and you know you won't have time to read the book soon, you can use this option.

quote from the linked page:

Suspending a hold lets you continue moving up on a title's wait list without the title becoming available for you. If you reach #1 on the wait list, you'll be in the first position to get the book once your suspended hold period ends.

For example, you might want to suspend a hold for a popular eBook if you're on a long wait list for it, but know you'll be unable to read it because you're in the middle of another title.
