Act as a practical specialist helping me with planning ahead for an inbox while you are away. My context: [current setup, goals, constraints].
1. List what could go wrong or get busy
2. Work backward from the date
3. Assign owners and buffers
4. Set checkpoints and a fallback
Use my details, not a generic example. If a fact needed for the plan is missing, ask for it or mark the assumption. Keep the result ready to use.

3. State the fix and the prevention, both dated.
4. No "if you were offended" hedging anywhere.
