Co-sign the three-option frame; make it even crisper by doing the math out loud: “With the 72-hour hold and time zones we effectively have about 7 working days.” Offer a fourth lever alongside more time or less scope: same date if we add a named resource or drop a named workstream, and state the default you’ll execute if no decision is made by a specific date. I also include a single line of assumptions and top risk in the recap so if the timeline is challenged later, you can point back to what was agreed without sounding defensive.

Great tips above. I’d also lock 2.4 GHz to 20 MHz on a fixed channel (1, 6 or 11), set it to b/g/n only (disable 11ax/HE), and use a low DTIM like 1–2 so sleepy IoT cams don’t miss beacons. Lastly and make sure your router isn’t doing nightly auto-reboots, eco Wi‑Fi schedules, or auto-channel changes that kick devices off.

Also clean the front grille and heater cage; hairspray residue and fine dust there can bake on and restrict airflow as much as the rear filter. When drying long hair keep the rear intake clear of your hair or towel and use high fan with lower heat if your model allows it. If it still trips and needs a few minutes to come back and that’s the thermal protector getting weak, and replacement is the safest, most economical fix. Any hot plastic smell or browning on the grille is a retire-now sign.

With 30 to 40 minutes most evenings, use a simple structure so you always touch technique, rhythm, and a song. Do 5 minutes of warm up by fretting frets 1 to 3 on each string with fingertip right behind the fret, a relaxed shoulder, and just enough pressure to ring clean. Spend 10 minutes on two chord switches with a metronome at 60 bpm and count clean changes for one minute per pair, rotating pairs like G to C, C to D, and E to A. Do 10 minutes of strumming on one chord or muted strings to keep volume down, start with all downstrokes on beats 1 2 3 4 then add the D DU UDU pattern with accents on 2 and 4 at 70 to 80 bpm. Finish with 10 to 15 minutes on one song by first playing only downstrokes while you speak or sing the words, then layer the pattern, and if noise is an issue use a thin pick, strum over the fretboard, play lightly, or stuff a soft cloth in the soundhole. Week 1 nail clean open G C D Em A Am and E, aim for 30 clean switches per minute between each pair at 60 to 70 bpm, and keep fretting fingers low over the strings. Week 2 keep the same chords and add the D DU UDU pattern at 70 to 80 bpm, loop G D Em C for five minutes without stopping, and try singing on simple downstrokes. Week 3 push those changes to 80 to 90 bpm, add Cadd9 and Asus2 to reuse fingers between chords, learn a second song in G or C, and start light palm muting with the side of your picking hand near the bridge. Week 4 introduce Fmaj7 or a mini F, work transitions to C and G, target 100 bpm on your main song, and add a basic arpeggio like thumb index middle index on each chord to change the feel without getting louder. Track progress with a tiny log that lists date, top bpm for a clean G D Em C loop, your best one minute change count, and a 30 second phone recording each week, and if numbers stall for two weeks drop tempo by 10 bpm and focus on relaxed hands and smaller movements.
