About

Most weekly plans fail because they ignore the calendar.

Most weekly plans fail because they ignore the calendar. Weekly Planner starts from it: it counts your meeting hours, finds the real gaps, and fits your three most important outcomes into specific blocks. When the work doesn't fit, it says so on Sunday instead of Thursday, and suggests what to move or drop. With your approval, it can hold the focus blocks on your calendar.
