If you need to get a better grip on forces around you or activities you're involved with now, take the time to do so. Don't let anyone intimidate you or pressure you to meet a certain arbitrary timetable. Schedules are meant to be revised, and it's more important that you understand what you're doing (and why you're doing it) than it is to go along with the crowd. Constantly trying to keep the peace is futile. Conflicts happen, and they usually cause smarter solutions.
