• A note about due dates and a "timeline" for NHD from start to finish: 

    I only plan as far as I can see there being no issues, at any given time. I will plan and release dates in chunks, especially as we move into the winter months, when weather can sometimes prove to be a problem. If I release “finalized” dates from beginning to end, at the start of a year, and then something unforeseeable happens, and I have to change one date, that then triggers all other later dates to also have to be changed, which then causes mild chaos and confusion with due dates. 

    For ease and clarity of communication, I do not release dates from beginning to end. This keeps things running smoothly, minimizes any confusion about dates, and allows me to have some necessary flexibility.
