Let's say your writing the next great historical fiction book that revolves around the months before D-Day, say starting in March. In March your story is planned day by day, even hour by hour.
But now there is no way to keep that breakneck pace through April and May so you need time to pass before the hour by hour excitement of D-Day itself in June.
CAN that be done? SHOULD that be done?

Go ahead and skip days or weeks if you want to. Just write something like, "A week passed. Preparations continued." It's done in published works all the time, no reason you can't use the trick too.
