Task & Focus Planner
A task list built around the two things that actually get something started: what the next physical action is, and roughly how many minutes it takes. 'Sort out the car' sits untouched for a month; 'find the insurance letter in the kitchen drawer — 5 minutes' does not. Each row holds the task, its project or context, that one concrete next step, the energy it needs, a minutes estimate, an optional due date, and a status. Sort by energy when you're flat, by minutes when you have a short window. There is no score, no streak, no productivity rating and no failure state — 'Parked' and 'Someday' are ordinary places for a task to live, and nothing here keeps count of what you didn't do.

Frequently asked
Where is my data stored?
Only on this device, in your browser. Nothing is ever uploaded — export to CSV/JSON to back it up, print it, or hand it to whoever needs a copy.
Does this tool work anything out for me?
No. It is a record, not an authority. It stores exactly what you typed and does not calculate tax, value anything, check a rule, or decide whether a requirement has been met — the registry, board, county or agency involved is the only place that answers those.
What if my estimate is always wrong?
That's fine — it's a guess, not a promise, and nothing compares it to reality afterwards. The estimate is there to help you match a task to the time you actually have right now. If a task keeps being bigger than you wrote down, that's usually a sign the next action is still too large; split it and write a smaller one.
