2. Giving advice using modals of probability.
It may be time to rethink your priorities.
You might even consider stopping work entirely.

You must/should consider stopping work entirely.
You must/should shift the family dinnertime.
Often may and might combine with verbs that express volition or necessity:
You may want to consider ways that...
You may need to face up to the fact that...
Put the words in order to make sentences offering advice indirectly.
3. Modals + well/just.

Use well with could, may and might to make the possibility stronger.
Use just with could, may and might to make the possibility weaker.
