Top answer

Of a voting majority, or a strong feeling perhaps, but 'overwhelming' is inappropriate to refer to a packed schedule. And an 'increased' schedule sounds like little reason to grant a week of vacation to recover! Also, 'we have decided' would be preferable.

No. A schedule is a list of activities and events organized by time.

You might increase the number of activities in your schedule, but it's not accurate to call that "increasing the schedule".

You might think of it this way: You might increase
