Unlimited mix revisions... yes or no?

Today on my calendar, I have 3 mixes with notes to update. This is squeezed in alongside a fully booked schedule and I’d be lying if I didn’t say this can be overwhelming.
But there are a few things I’ve learnt which helps me meet revision requests, keep things organised, as well as satisfy my clients needs.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t always this easy, because a busy schedule, with ego, and the stresses of visiting a project you otherwise thought should be finished isn’t always a recipe for a clear mindset.
So I’m going to address what I think are the biggest challenges when it comes to mix revisions.
