Plan around an uncertain finish time

State the uncertainty and choose a plan that does not require someone to wait indefinitely.

Try this

  1. Name the range of uncertainty and any decision that depends on the finish time.
  2. Choose a plan that allows the waiting person to proceed independently. Send an update when a more reliable time becomes available rather than promising certainty early.

A worked example

“I may finish between six and eight. Please start without me if needed.”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.
