Synonym for catching up

Question

I'm looking for a word to describe being glad that you were able to catch up with something promptly.
As in:

I am happy for the Covid lockdown, because I was able to just catch up with this other thing I wanted to do.

Another example for a single word synonym:

I was given some extra time, and therefore was able to ___ get that done.

I want to explain that gladly I was able to make it/catch up with it right at the last minute.
It doesn't have to be one word, but I would prefer it...

You could also consider "up to speed" which is very similar to "catch up" but without the negative connotation you mentioned in the response comment.

I have little time before breakfast but can just manage to answer your question with this brief sentence.

Maybe, what you need is the expression "under the wire," as in "Luckily, I got it done under the wire."
