People are wayyyyyy more entrepreneurial today thanks to the internet and being able to sell shit online for low/zero starting cost. All millennials have a side business of some kind, be it freelancing or selling jewelry, especially in the arts and design, ask all your ADs.

At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals.
