Open weekly priorities

The calculator uses the numbers you enter: priorities and the ones you close. 5 minus 3 is 2 priorities left to close. Spare time enters when the plan is closed.

The calculator does not close tasks and does not score decisions. Weekly reset: jobs carried into next week.

Input data

Enter priorities, closed ones, and spare hours. You can leave people on the plan blank.

Optional context

This field is optional. People on the weekly plan show priorities per person in the grid. A blank field skips that context and does not change the main result.

Enter data and click Calculate.

How it works

The calculator subtracts closed priorities from the ones you set. 5 minus 3 is 2 priorities left to close. When the plan is closed, it subtracts unplanned hours from spare time: jobs times minutes over 60.

The main result comes from open priorities or from spare time. Unplanned jobs with an open plan sit in the grid.

Second example: 4 minus 4 closes the plan. 2 times 15 over 60 is 0.5. 6 minus 0.5 is 5.5 hours of spare time. Third: 8 minus 3 is 5 priorities left to close.

The calculator does not close tasks and does not score decisions. A comma in 12.5 is read the same way as a period.

Formula

Result = priorities − closed. When that is ≤ 0, result = spare − (jobs × minutes ÷ 60). At 5 and 3: 5 − 3 = 2, so 2 priorities left to close.

What these numbers mean

5 minus 3 is 2 priorities left to close.

priorities and closed
The number you set minus the ones you close. In the first example that is 5 and 3.
spare time
It enters the result when every priority is closed. Here 4 versus 2 unplanned hours in the first example do not change the result, because 5 minus 3 leaves some open.
unplanned jobs and people
They sit in the grid when the plan is open. People are optional and do not change the main result.

How to use

  1. Enter 5 priorities.
  2. Add 3 closed and 6 unplanned jobs, plus 20 minutes and spare time of 4.
  3. Click Calculate. The result is 2 priorities left to close.
  4. Second example: 4, 4, 2, 15 and 6 is 5.5 hours of spare time. Third: 8, 3, 12, 25 and 1 is 5 priorities left to close.
  5. You can skip people on the plan. When you fill that field, they appear in the grid and do not change the main result.

Examples

Example 1

  • priorities 5
  • closed 3
  • unplanned 6
  • job 20 min
  • buffer 4 h

2 priorities left to close

5 − 3 = 2 priorities left to close. Unplanned jobs sit in the grid.

Example 2

  • priorities 4
  • closed 4
  • unplanned 2
  • job 15 min
  • buffer 6 h

5.5 hours of spare time

4 − 4 closes the plan. 2 × 15 ÷ 60 = 0.5. 6 − 0.5 = 5.5 hours of spare time.

Example 3

  • priorities 8
  • closed 3
  • unplanned 12
  • job 25 min
  • buffer 1 h

5 priorities left to close

8 − 3 = 5 priorities left to close.
