Be honest. Count the hours you'll really spend working on these tasks, not every hour you're awake.

Talking to Tempo

Write or dictate the way you'd say it. Separate tasks with commas, new lines or "and". Each task can mention:

2 hours 45 min an hour and a halfHow long it'll take (30m if you leave it out)
urgent important if I have timePriority (or !high / !low)
by friday tomorrow by 10/17Due date
#work or a line like School:Force a category

If you leave the category out, Tempo picks one from the wording. Drag a task to another category (or change it in the task's editor) and Tempo learns from that.

How the clock works

The clock starts at your period's budget and counts down while you run a task timer. Tasks marked done without a timer count their estimate as time spent. Tasks are ranked by priority. Those lower down that don't fit into the time left are labelled won't fit.
