Make room for the work

Study catch-up planner

Enter the work still unfinished and your new availability. Rebuild a dated plan from today, with unfinished hours kept visible.

Your starting point

Example inputs
Task / topicHours leftLast working date

Enter unfinished hours only. Deadlines include the last working date. Use 0 hours for completed work.

Focused hours available each day

Use 0 for a day off. Leave room for breaks and other commitments.

How it works

Allocate remaining task minutes in earliest-deadline order, using only the focused hours available on each date through that task’s deadline.

A worked example

With 5 hours left and only 2 focused hours on Monday and Tuesday before a Tuesday deadline, 4 hours are scheduled and 1 hour stays visibly unfinished.

Assumptions to check

Enter only remaining work, not your original total. Deadlines include the due date as a working day; use an earlier last-study date for a morning exam. Earlier deadlines go first, ties keep your row order. This does not edit an existing saved plan unless you opened that plan and save again. Hours are rounded to whole minutes.

A few useful answers

Do missed days get added automatically?

No. Choose your new start date and update remaining effort. Previously completed work should not be included again.

Will the planner overbook a day to catch me up?

No. It keeps your entered daily limit and shows each task’s unscheduled hours. Zero hours marks a day off; zero remaining task hours marks it complete.

Planning estimates, not official academic results. Your course and institution set the rules.

MAKE THE ANSWER USEFUL

From this result to your next step.

Start with unfinished work today

Use remaining effort instead of the original full estimate. Keep real deadlines and enter your current available time. A missed day changes what is left to do; it does not create extra future hours by itself.

Let the gap guide a decision

The schedule fills earlier deadlines first without exceeding a daily limit. Unscheduled hours remain visible so you can change a personal milestone, add realistic capacity or set aside optional work. A later free day cannot repair a deadline that has already passed.
