Had a crazy busy Saturday that almost broke me but ended great

Last Saturday I had 6 clients back to back starting at 8am and didn't sit down until 5pm. Three of them wanted vivid color corrections which always take longer than you expect. My last client Sarah tipped me $60 on a $120 service and said I saved her hair from a box dye disaster. Has anyone else had one of those days where you're dead tired but the tips make it worth it?

Keep a snack stash for those back to back days, it saves you.

Last semester I was the person who thought snack stashes were for kids or road trips, not for actual work days. Then I had two Tuesdays in a row where my 11am class ran over, my 2pm got moved up, and I didn't get a real break until 6pm. By 4pm I was shaking and bought a $4 granola bar from the vending machine that tasted like cardboard. Now I keep a little ziploc of almonds and a protein bar in my bag at all times. You're right, it really does save you.
