My worst Wednesday in consulting nearly broke me
Last spring I had a day where three different clients all had emergencies at the same time. One project file got corrupted, another client hated the color palette I spent two weeks on, and the third one wanted a full rewrite by Friday. I ended up working until 3 AM just to get everything back on track. What made it stand out was how fast everything fell apart at once. I learned that day I need to spread out my deadlines better so one bad day doesn't crush everything. Has anyone else had a day where everything went wrong at the exact same time?

Did you try batching your client check-ins to specific days?

Did you try setting a specific day for non-urgent emails?
