How it works
Turn an unfinished item target into a practical daily schedule through December 31.
R = T − C; q = ⌈R / D⌉
Items are interchangeable units, not estimated effort. Weekday mode excludes weekends only, not public holidays or leave. The start day is included and all dates are calendar dates without timezone conversion. A completed target gives zero remaining work. No reminders or calendar synchronization; calculations work offline after loading.
