Create your first plan

A plan is FocusAnalyze's answer to "what am I actually doing today?" — a committed set of tasks and time blocks for a day or a week, which you can then compare against what really happened.

Draft, then commit

Plans have two states on purpose.

A draft is a proposal. FocusAI builds one from your open tasks, their estimates, your existing calendar and your capacity budget. You can edit it, drop items, move blocks around, or throw it away — nothing on your calendar changes yet.

Committing is the moment it becomes real. Time blocks are written to your calendar, the plan is recorded, and from then on FocusAnalyze can measure plan against actual.

This split is the whole point. An uncommitted draft costs you nothing, so you can ask for three different shapes of the day before picking one.

Making one

1. Open the planning view, or ask FocusAI directly: "plan my day."
2. FocusAI reads your open tasks, your calendar and your capacity budget, and streams

back a draft.

1. Review it. This is the useful part — if the draft doesn't fit, that is real

information about your week, not a bug.

1. Commit it.

Reflection

At the end of a planned period you can record a reflection against the plan — what landed, what slipped, why. Those reflections feed the plan-vs-actual view and give FocusAI real signal about how your estimates behave, rather than making it guess.

If the plan doesn't fit

It often won't, and FocusAnalyze is deliberately blunt about that: if your committed tasks need more hours than your capacity budget allows, you'll be told, and asked what to cut. See Capacity.
