Assignment planner
Make a practical timeline for research, drafting and editing with your own effort estimates and availability.
How it works
A worked example
A four-hour research stage and six-hour draft are scheduled in sequence. If only eight hours fit, the planner shows the two-hour shortfall.
Assumptions to check
Stages run in the order entered. The due date is included as a working day if you make time available. Workload estimates and stage names are editable.

Can I use this for a lab report or dissertation chapter?
Yes. Replace the default stages and effort estimates with the work your assignment requires.
Does it account for supervisor feedback time?
No automatic waiting periods are added. Reflect unavailable days in your availability or choose an earlier deadline.
Planning estimates, not official academic results. Your course and institution set the rules.
From this result to your next step.
Break the brief into stages
Research, analysis, outlining, drafting and revision are different tasks. Enter the stages in the order you need to do them. A waiting period for feedback is not automatically included in a focused-hour estimate.
Leave a sensible submission buffer
Use a personal deadline before the actual submission if you need feedback, formatting or printing time. For an early-morning deadline, finish the working plan the day before. Check the dated stages before connecting the work to your shared semester.
