Drag each slider to a typical week of yours. A guess is fine.
How it works
Your week,
one hour at a time
Start from a typical week
The sliders open on a common week. Drag each one to yours. Daily amounts are multiplied by seven, and the commute by the days you work.
See all 168 hours at once
Each square is one hour, colored by how you're spending it The empty squares are the hours you have left in your week.
Name what's missing
If the open number looks too big, add what you left out: scrolling, waiting, errands. What's still empty after that is yours to plan.
Questions
A few things
worth asking
Is what I enter saved anywhere?
No. The sums run in your browser and nothing you enter is sent to optml or anyone else.
My week adds up to more than 168 hours. What now?
Some estimates are high, or two things happen at once, like a podcast on the commute. Count each hour once, under whatever you were mainly doing.
How accurate is a guess?
Good enough to start. People tend to overestimate their working hours, so if a number matters to you, log one real week in half-hour blocks and enter it again.
