Had a killer Tuesday last week - 14 haircuts in 8 hours

I was booked solid from 9am to 5pm with mostly fades and one kid who would not sit still. Every single cut came out clean, even the squirmy 6-year-old's buzz fade. Anyone else have those days where everything just clicks and you feel like you can't miss?

Does the energy from a day like that carry over into the next shift or just fade away after you clock out?

Man I just read this study about how barbers who hit a flow state actually build muscle memory faster for new techniques. It said the brain kinda locks in the movements when you're on a streak like that. So yeah, I think those clean days do carry over, at least for the first few cuts the next morning.
