Smart daily planning

2 followers

Most planners show you a list of deadlines. This one lets you break assignments into subtasks and schedule them across specific days, so you wake up knowing exactly what to do today. No more guessing if you should start something early or wondering if things will pile up later. Add time estimates to spot overloaded days fast. Built by a student who got tired of overthinking when to start things.

Hey, I'm a CS student and I've been using Notion + Google Calendar to organize my semesters, but there were always these little things I wished they did differently. So I figured... why not just build the planner I actually want? I originally made this purely for myself (and that's still the main use case), but I thought maybe other students might find it useful too. The core problem I kept running into: I'd see something like "2000 word paper due in a week" on my calendar and immediately start overthinking. Should I start now? Should I wait? What if future me has three other things due that same day? I wanted a system where I could just wake up, look at today's tasks, knock them out, and then actually relax without that background anxiety of "am I forgetting something?" Basically, plan once, then just execute. So here's what I built. When I add an assignment, I break it into smaller tasks and assign each one to a specific day before the deadline. Like if I have that 2000-word paper, I'll split it into four 500-word chunks across four days. Then today, I just need to write my 500 words. That's it. No mental math about whether I'm "on track." I just am. This scales up too. If you have a bigger project with 20+ subtasks, you can actually see when each piece will get done, which makes the whole thing feel way less overwhelming. I also added a time estimate for each task because once you have more than a few things per day, it's hard to tell which days are actually overloaded. Now I can quickly spot light days and drop new tasks there. Some small quality-of-life stuff: shift-click an assignment to see all its tasks, shift-click while creating tasks to auto-nest them under an assignment. Just things that made my own workflow faster. Anyway, I put together a quick landing page with a short demo (46 seconds). Would genuinely appreciate any feedback on what makes sense, what doesn't, or what would make this more useful.
