Hit 50 completed projects last month and realized something weird

I kept a spreadsheet for two years tracking every single freelance job I finished. Last month I crossed 50 total projects. That number surprised me because I felt like I had done way more than that in my head. But what really got me was that 14 of those 50 were rush jobs from clients who changed deadlines at the last minute. That means almost a third of my work came from panic mode. Does anyone else track their project count and get surprised by the numbers? What milestone made you stop and think?

Panic mode projects drain you faster than the money they bring in.

Panic mode pays better though. @the_rose must be turning down easy money.
