Hi Robin,

Short version:   I think we need another two weeks to write a proper

                 and the "reflections" won't take long - maybe a
                 week to do both.


I'm sorry, but I disagree. In my humble experience, tasks tend to take at least as long as you allow them to. People procrastinate until the last possible second and then actually focus on the task at hand. This is what causes schedule compression and slips.

The only alternative is to provide a schedule that allows those who are proactively trying to meet the schedule ample time for all aspects of the task and then stick to it. That's exactly what we're trying to do.

Three weeks to produce 500 words seems like it should have been ample time.
