Pick a skill. Give it hours. Finish it.

Guides to studying and to working: communication and career skills, internships, e-learning and small business, a Portuguese strand on art education, and a run of short science explainers. Free to read — and a planner that turns any of them into a schedule with dates on it.

The study planner

Give it the hours a skill needs and the hours you actually have in a week. It returns the finish date, the weeks in between and a realistic session length — including the part most plans skip, which is that missing one week in four moves the end by a month.

Open the planner →
  • A finish date, not a vague "a few months"
  • Session length worked back from your week, not the other way round
  • Shows what a 25% miss rate actually costs
  • Runs in your browser — nothing is sent or stored
