Yes to both but if we're being honest, this is your process. You always spin out beforehand and then turn out something super fantastic so I think you actually need a bit of panic to make it work somehow. Maybe it gets the creative juices flowing?

Having said that, you have exactly 60 days to get 9 completed boxes in clay's greedy little hands. Nine! That's more than enough time if you don't procrastinate. You've previously done more in a round and survived. And you did very well, if memory serves me.

Figure out what you are going to do and figure out how much time it will take to get there and then subtract mailing time from 60 days and that number will be divided by the amount of work you will need to accomplish. That way, you know EXACTLY how much time to put in each day to get it all done. Then you complete the amount of work you planned out each day. If you get on a roll and work longer, great, but you can't bail or cut the day short.

That will ensure not only you get everything done on time but I bet you wind up finishing early and can put your feet up while some of us do the panic dance at the last moment.

So, for me, I would give 5 days of travel so that leaves 55 days from today on, which would be 6 days of work on EACH box plus one day for any adhesive/sealant drying or extra touches to dry and getting everything together.

See? Easy peasy.

DONE.
