What is Dayopt?

Dayopt is a time management and self-awareness tool for individuals. It does three things in one place:

1. Plan — schedule your work as timeblocks
2. Track — record how you actually spent the time
3. Reflect — look at the gap between the two

Most task managers focus on what you need to do. Dayopt focuses on when and how long, so you build a realistic sense of your own time.

Core concept: timeboxing

Timeboxing means giving each task a fixed timebox before you start. Instead of an open-ended list, you decide:

• What to work on
• When to start
• How long to spend

Dayopt puts your calendar and your intentions in the same view, so this is easy to practice.

How Dayopt works

1. Create plans

A plan is something you intend to do. It has a start time, an end time, and an activity whose name appears on the timeblock.

• Drag on the calendar to create a plan
• Sort your time with activities. Group them into categories for color and icon coding

2. Record actual time

A record is the time you actually spent. Create one after the fact, or from a plan you finished.

• Create records on their own, or copy the time and activity from a finished plan
• Plans and records remain independent; comparisons are calculated from their time and activity

3. Check an activity’s recent Records

When you need them, open an activity’s details from the calendar. You’ll see its recorded time, median Record length, and Records from the last 30 days. Choose a Record to open it in the calendar.
