That one Tuesday where 3 clients all sent revisions at the exact same time

I work at a small agency downtown and last week was just brutal. On Tuesday morning I had 3 clients send me revision requests within 15 minutes of each other. One wanted a full homepage redesign, another needed new ad copy for a campaign launching Friday, and the third asked me to redo their entire email sequence because their CEO changed the brand voice overnight. I sat there staring at my inbox like it was a joke. What made it stand out was that by 3 PM I had finished all 3 projects because my coworker Sarah jumped in and took the email sequence off my plate. She even caught a mistake in the CEO's new guidelines that would have made the emails unreadable. Has anyone else had a day where everything fell apart then came together that fast?

Hold up, is getting three revisions in one morning really that big of a deal... feels like a normal Tuesday in most agencies honestly. Glad Sarah saved the day and all, but this sounds more like a typical work day than a disaster movie moment

Jumped into that exact same situation a few months back. I read this thing online about how client revisions often come in waves because of something called "decision paralysis" where they all finally make up their minds at the same time. It totally fit my Tuesday where three clients sent changes within 10 minutes of each other, but then my buddy Mark spotted a typo in one client's email that would've made the whole campaign look amateurish. He fixed it before I even saw the error, and by the end of the day we had everything done early. That coworker save you had with Sarah is the real MVP move, feels like a total win.
