Time Estimates Feature
Finally know how long your day will actually take
Stop overcommitting and underdelivering. Add time estimates to your tasks and see exactly how your day adds up. Plan realistically, finish on time, and feel good about what you accomplished.
Sound familiar?
Your today list never gets finished. It just keeps growing.
You plan for 8 hours of focused work. But most people can realistically sustain 3-4 hours of quality focus. That gap between your plan and reality is why you end every day with half your list incomplete and feeling like you failed.
You plan impossibly full days
12+ hours of tasks for a 24-hour day, forgetting breaks, transitions, and the reality of how long things actually take.
You overestimate your capacity
You think you can do 8 hours of focused work, but realistically you can sustain 3-4 hours of quality focus. Mental fatigue is real.
You carry tasks forward daily
The same tasks drag from yesterday to today to next week. You're "failing" to complete your plan every single day.
You have no visibility into your actual pace
Without tracking estimates vs. reality, you keep making the same mistakes. You never learn how long things actually take for you.
How it works
Time estimates that actually help you plan
Know exactly how long your day will take
Add time estimates to tasks and see your total workload at a glance. No more wondering if you can fit everything in.
Get capacity warnings before you fail
Marvin shows you a Capacity Estimator—a visual warning when you've planned more than is realistically possible. Plan per-section (morning, afternoon, evening) and see totals for each.
Track your estimation accuracy
Compare estimates vs. actual time. Get better at predicting how long things take over time. Learn your real capacity.
Plan realistic weeks and months
See how your daily estimates add up across the week. Plan long-term projects knowing exactly if you can hit your deadlines.
The Capacity Estimator: See what's actually possible
Marvin shows you a visual capacity meter for your day based on your estimates. You'll see immediately if your day is overloaded.
- Visual capacity indicator (is this day possible?)
- Per-section totals (Morning + Afternoon + Evening)
- Quick estimate buttons (5m, 15m, 30m, 1h+)
- Based on your actual pace (learns from your history)
- See how much capacity you truly have left
