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 time blocks
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 block of time 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 title, a start time, an end time, and one activity.

• 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 link them to a plan
• Time you did not plan is marked as unplanned

3. Review

The Review page shows patterns in how you spend time.

• Tracked time and your most-used activity
• Time by activity, and where plan and record diverged
• Estimation accuracy per activity
• Records by day of week and by hour
• Blank time — the hours with no name on them
