How many hours do you really have this week?

Forty hours minus meetings minus the unexpected is a smaller number than most plans assume. Work out yours before you promise.

Most weekly plans are made against forty hours. Most weeks have far fewer for the work itself.

Hours you really have for work this week

20.8 h

(40 h − 14 h) × (1 − 20 %)

That number is what the planner in Schedule Operator works with: your schedules, your breaks, your shortest and longest sittings. It plans the work into what is left, and names what does not fit – so that your promises start from the honest number.

Your rules, not a generic day. Demo workspace with example data.
