Featured Session: Scope Creep, Email Creep, Text Messages, and Other Ways Projects Eat Your Life (and How To Stop It) A “quick question” turns into an afternoon. “Just one more pass” becomes a massive rewrite. Suddenly you’re doing unpaid labor while trying to sound pleasant in email you don't want to write. This session is a practical, editor-first toolkit for not losing your mind. We'll talk about setting expectations, writing boundaries into your process (and your contract), spotting red flags before you’re trapped, and using tools that keep relationships intact while protecting your time.
