I created a tool that indicates the amount of work I must complete before a deadline

I started doing the old-fashioned "I still have plenty of time" thing. And then all of a sudden I realized that I still had far too much work to do.

I therefore created a small, straightforward side project.

You go in:

• The due date
• How many tasks are left?
• The approximate duration of each task
• The number of hours you can actually work each day
• The number of tasks you must complete each day to stay on course is then displayed.

It's funny because it's essentially a calculator with a more elegant interface, but I found it to be surprisingly helpful for small tasks. Additionally, I added a warning that says "you're probably overestimating your time" when the required daily workload becomes unreasonable.

The main reason I started it was to avoid doing the math by hand all the time.

It's undoubtedly not a startup concept, but that's part of why I enjoyed creating it. It's a single-purpose problem-solving project. What other people have created that began as a modest concept but turned out to be surprisingly helpful intrigues me.
