An online weekly planner you can fill in one line

Three ways to plan a week

1. Type it

On the Cutline home page there is a week builder. Write your week the way you would say it, separated by commas:

Cutline reads the activity, how often, how long and when, and lays it out across Monday to Sunday. Clashes are nudged to the next free time.

2. Copy a template

Start from a week someone already proved works, like the 5 AM Founder, Content Machine or Exam Week, and change what does not fit.

3. Drag it

In the app, drag down any day to create a block, then move and stretch it. Everything snaps to 15 minutes.

What a good weekly plan has

• Anchors first. Fixed things (classes, standups, training) go in before anything else.
• One big thing per day. A single block of your most important work, early, before messages start.
• Buffers. 30 to 60 minutes of open time in the afternoon for whatever came up.
• An end. A last block in the evening so the day stops.

After the plan: the week itself

A planner is only as good as the week that follows. In Cutline every block can be ticked when it is done, which earns XP, clears days and builds a record. On Sunday you can see how many of your planned hours you actually finished, per category, and plan the next week with that in mind.
