@vasta @patrickrhone Agreed. I tend to think of it this way: in most cases, the most significant moments are not coordinated worldwide on a schedule. In fact, they tend to be unpredictable; sure, the start of the school year is scheduled but your first day isn't necessarily the day when it clicks into place; yes, you have a deadline for your project but it might take days -- or even months! -- before the impact of that deadline is truly felt.
