A friend in Portland said my schedule was a 'slow motion car crash'
She looked at my calendar last fall and pointed out I was booking new jobs back to back with zero gaps, which meant I was always in a crunch. I started forcing a two day buffer between every project, and it's cut my late nights by about 80%. Anyone else find a simple schedule tweak that made a huge difference?

Getting faster at the work" is the only real fix for some jobs.

That buffer system sounds nice in theory, but it just wouldn't work for my line of work. My clients need things done fast, and gaps in the schedule mean lost income. I've built my whole process around handling the crunch. Getting faster at the work itself was my fix, not adding empty days. The constant pressure is how I operate best.
