Planning Timer
About the Planning Timer
Planning without a timer becomes fantasy scheduling. This Planning Timer bounds calendar design, backlog grooming, and priority stacks so you leave the session with a plan that fits a real day. Sunday night planning, Monday morning triage, and quarterly goal mapping all benefit from a visible stop time that forces tradeoffs. Label the plan scope in the task field so you do not replan the entire year in twenty minutes.
How to use it
- Open the Planning Timer page and pick a preset or enter a custom duration.
- Label the task, client, topic, or milestone in the task field before starting.
- Press start when you begin real work, not when you open unrelated tabs.
- Pause only for true interruptions; keep the block honest for future planning.
- Stop when the alert sounds and decide consciously whether to start another block.
Good to know
A focus timer does not finish the work for you. Pick one task before you start, and keep the tab open so the break actually arrives on time.
