You've tried the 'normal' way.

Every piece of advice you've gotten was designed for a brain you don't have.

"Just start working on it" Reverse-engineer from the deadline. Let the sheet tell you what to do today. HOW?
"Make a timeline and stick to it" Auto-distribute tasks with buffer time. Adjust when life happens. RIGHT.
"Don't procrastinate" Hit Panic Mode. Get the minimum viable deliverable. Ship it. GENIUS.

(...sound familiar? keep scrolling. we built something better.)

Tab-by-tab walkthrough.

Everything in Deadline Reverse-Engineering Planner. No fluff. No hidden features.

1
Tab 1

The Deadline

Enter one date. The sheet calculates working days, calendar days, and effective days remaining. Color-coded status indicator goes from green to yellow to red as the deadline approaches.

2
Tab 2

Break It Down

List up to 30 sub-tasks with time estimates and Must/Should/Nice priority levels. The sheet auto-distributes them across your available days with built-in buffer time.

3
Tab 3

Daily View

Shows ONLY today's tasks — max 6 at a time. Each with a tiny first step, time estimate, and checkbox. Plus buffer time remaining so you know if you're on track.

4
Tab 4

Panic Mode

Activates when you're under 3 days out. Strips everything to Must-Have tasks only. Calculates the minimum viable deliverable — the smallest version that still counts.

5
Tab 5

Done Tracker

Progress bar, completion percentage, and milestone celebrations at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. Completed task log with time variance tracking. Visual proof you're making progress.

Three steps. That's it.

No 47-page setup guide. No onboarding video. Open it, do the three steps, feel better.

1

Set

Enter your deadline date. The sheet calculates working days remaining and shows you the timeline.

2

Break

List every sub-task with a time estimate. The planner auto-distributes them across available days with built-in buffer time.

3

Execute

Each day, see only that day's tasks. Track progress with the Done Tracker. If you're behind, hit Panic Mode for minimum viable deliverables.

(seriously. three steps. no PhD required.)

Who it's for.

You have a big deadline and your brain is doing that thing where it simultaneously panics AND refuses to start. You need to see the whole project broken into tiny pieces, distributed across actual days, with a panic button for when you're down to the wire.

^ if that hit home, this was literally built for you.

What you get.

No hidden requirements. No premium tiers. No 'upgrade for the good stuff.'
