Chris.
We should complete or work well whoever we are and whatever we work or study at. There was obviously a God given set time for the end of the work and the beginning of the Festival of Shelters. This means that there could have been some pressure on the people to finish their work on time before they could be ready for the Festival. God understands our pressures in life and, as we Trust Him He will surely help us.
