Ask What’s the most chaotic thing you’ve done to keep your home business running?

I borrowed a neighbor's generator, charged my laptop in my car, and answered customer emails from a fast-food parking lot with free Wi-Fi. Tracking orders became pure chaos because spreadsheets, shipping labels, and inventory notes were scattered across notebooks and sticky notes. I even used voice notes on my phone to remember urgent requests while taping boxes at 2 a.m. Looking back, the mess taught me how important backup systems, flexible routines, and clear communication really are.
