A countdown to everything that matters
Christmas is the one deadline nobody moves, so everything “before the break” piles up in the weeks before it. Radar shows every deadline in the next ninety days on one radar, at work and at home, and checks your calendar has the hours for each, so the last week before Christmas is not the one where everything lands at once.
