Sleeping with Short Bond ETFs

How easy it is to say after the fact that switching to short term bond etf's would have outperformed the S&P500. I use my own timing methods and my timer advised getting out of the market in mid-June. I can't say that I knew how bad the downturn was going to be.

Bear in mind that if you suggest overweighting in short bond etf's now, you must also advise when to go back to a normal bond weighting. How do you do that without engaging in timing which you say can't be done (or at least you don't know of anyone who can do it)?
