Schedule Shaper 🗓️

🌱 A schedule that survives real life

A schedule fails when it's built for your best day and then has to survive your average one. So instead of handing you a generic calendar, this finds the shape that fits how you actually work — then tunes it to your energy, your peak hours, and whatever else your week already has to hold.

It's grounded in real research: pacing and the energy-envelope idea from the chronic-illness world, energy-based scheduling and body doubling from ADHD support, the 90-minute focus cycle, and what actually prevents creator burnout. Sources are linked at the end.

Ten quick questions, answered for a normal week — not an aspirational one. Several let you pick more than one, because most of us are juggling more than one thing — and your plan is tuned to the whole overlap, not a single label. You'll get your schedule shape, a weekly template, and rules tuned to you. Nothing is saved or shared, and no sign-in needed. 💗

🤝 A gentle note: this is a friendly planning tool, not medical advice. You know your body and your limits better than any quiz — take what helps and leave the rest.

📚 Why these recommendations? (the research)

This tool turns a few well-supported ideas into a plan. Worth a read if you want the reasoning, or to go deeper:

Pacing & the energy envelope — staying inside a sustainable baseline (and dropping it ~20%) to avoid the boom-and-bust / post-exertional crash cycle. MEpedia: boom & bust, Spoon Theory.
Energy-based scheduling — matching tasks to your capacity and peak windows instead of a rigid clock, which tends to work better for ADHD brains. Time-blocking vs energy scheduling.
Buffer time & transitions — building slack between tasks because switching has a real cost. Brain buffering.
The 90-minute focus cycle — ultradian rhythms: focus for ~90 minutes, then take a real break. Ultradian rhythms.
Body doubling — using gentle external accountability to make starting easier. ADDA: the body double.
Sustainable cadence & rest — consistency beats frequency; batching, a full day off and quarterly deloads prevent creator burnout. Avoiding creator burnout.
