To name or not to name? What's in a chapter?

I have a lot of things I am toying with to give context to my story...I have recently gave myself a time till which the story NEEDS to conclude by..which is good...as such I've included the month, year and day in my chapter introductions...but I only specify it when there is a perspective switch...so it is preceded by the name of who is the focus of the chapter...I also Title my chapters to give context and I personally enjoy title carding my chapters...also for conceptual purposes since the main character isn't omnipotent sometime I include things that may have happened previously or need to be explained to give insight to the reader about the plot...that is how I breakdown my chapters for the reader. What do you think, is this too much or could I maybe do it another way? And what sort of things do you use to give context and insight?
