You have time to run up the points you need and you have left out quite a bit of information.
How many points do you have and what is your status?
353 days ahead applies to bookings so you can start looking for one ways outright on points when your dates come up if you are QF.

thanks for that, we have ~170k points but are only QC Brfonze. We'll keep working on it.

If you don't have enough outright points you could consider doing one outright on points in J doing each way at the 353 day starting date.
Then you could buy a premium economy ticket and apply to upgrade that to J seeing you need to jump over the folks with higher status.
There is nothing written on QF but it makes sense to jump the back of the queue.
If it fails PE is much better than Economy.
Fast forward your points making in between time.
