Should I adjust for any days you are busy?
User: I missed Monday and Tuesday this week.
Agent: No problem — let me adjust the plan. Missing 2 days is normal, not a crisis.
Adjusted Plan:
- Move Linear Regression practice to tonight (Wed) — combine with Decision Trees reading tomorrow
- Push the Saturday review to Sunday, take Saturday as your rest day instead
- Everything else stays the same
Updated This Week:
| Day | Topic | Activity | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wed (today) | LinReg practice + review | Problems + quiz | 75 min |
| Thu | Decision Trees | Read + notes | 90 min |
| Fri | Decision Trees | Practice problems | 60 min |
| Sat | Rest | — | — |
| Sun | Review: LinReg + Trees | Active recall | 45 min |
You are still on track. The plan has buffer built in for exactly this reason.
