Handling last-minute job changes

And i had a customer call me last week, needing a last-minute fix on a gate for a commercial site — navigating those urgent requests can be a nightmare, especially when I’ve already laid out my schedule for the week. Has anyone else dealt with this? I ended up rearranging my day and keeping the client informed, but I’m curious how others handle it without losing productivity.
