Turn study hours and deadlines into a signal. Balance sleep, breaks, and tasks for control. Download reports, adjust plans, and stay focused each day.
The score combines load, urgency, habits, and recovery into a 0–100 result. Higher values indicate higher study pressure.
| Scenario | Study Hours | Assignments | Exams | Deadline (days) | Sleep | Breaks | Procrastination | Focus | Extras | Typical Band |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Steady week | 24 | 3 | 0 | 7 | 7.8 | 60 | 3 | 7 | 4 | Low–Moderate |
| Deadline crunch | 38 | 7 | 1 | 2 | 6.2 | 35 | 6 | 6 | 6 | High |
| Exam week | 50 | 5 | 3 | 1 | 5.8 | 25 | 7 | 5 | 8 | High–Critical |
Example bands are illustrative; your score depends on all inputs and habits.
The calculator converts your next seven days into a single 0–100 indicator. Hours, assignments, exams, and deadline urgency are normalized to comparable scales, then weighted to reflect typical time management impact. For example, 60 weekly study hours maps near 100 on the hours sub-score, while 14 or more days to the nearest deadline drives urgency close to zero. This makes week-to-week comparisons consistent.
Workload is split into multiple drivers so one extreme value does not hide another risk. Assignments rise toward the maximum sub-score around twelve items, exams rise quickly toward the maximum at four, and extracurricular commitments scale strongly after twenty hours per week. When two or more drivers are elevated at the same time, the combined pressure rises faster than increasing study hours alone, signaling a need to reduce scope or renegotiate deadlines.
Urgency is modeled as a time-to-deadline curve, where fewer days increases pressure sharply. A deadline in 0–2 days produces very high urgency, 7 days produces moderate urgency, and 14+ days produces low urgency. This reflects planning reality: short horizons force context switching, reduce buffer time, and increase error rates. If your score spikes because urgency is high, focus on sequencing tasks rather than adding more hours.
Sleep and breaks reduce the score because recovery improves learning efficiency. The sleep recovery factor scales from near zero at four hours to strong protection near nine hours, while break recovery approaches its maximum around ninety intentional minutes per day. Focus quality also provides a smaller protective effect, because better focus can lower effective load. If the score stays high, improving recovery often yields faster results than increasing study time.
Use CSV and PDF exports to compare planned changes. Save one baseline week, then adjust one variable at a time: remove a low-value commitment, move one deadline, or add two structured time blocks. Record context in the notes field so you can interpret trends later. Over several weeks, you can identify whether pressure is driven by recurring peaks, chronic low sleep, or inconsistent planning habits overall clearly.
It is a 0–100 summary of workload, urgency, habits, and recovery for the coming week. Higher scores indicate higher risk of overload and lower schedule flexibility.
Weekly is ideal, preferably on the same day each week. Recalculating after major schedule changes also helps you validate whether the plan reduces pressure.
Hours add load and reduce available recovery time. After a point, more hours can produce diminishing returns and raise the chance of missed breaks, poor sleep, and lower focus.
Start with the biggest driver: urgent deadlines, high assignment count, or low sleep. Reducing one load factor and increasing one recovery factor usually lowers the score fastest.
In this model it typically lowers pressure because it improves predictability and reduces switching. If blocks are unrealistic, adjust your inputs and retest until the plan fits.
No. It is a planning tool for time management. If you feel persistently overwhelmed or unwell, consider talking to a qualified professional or a trusted support person.
