That week I had three clients all ask for rush jobs at once...

It started Monday when a regular needed a logo in 48 hours for a surprise launch. By Wednesday, two more came in with 'urgent' edits. I pulled two all-nighters and drank way too much coffee. Ended up making $2,400 in four days but felt completely fried. How do you all handle it when everyone needs everything done yesterday?

Used to think that was just part of the job.

Yeah, I learned that the hard way. Started setting clear boundaries with clients about response times after hours. Even put it in my email signature that I don't answer work stuff past 7pm. It made a huge difference.

Totally did the same thing for years.
