🧠 Energy Curve Matching

The optimizer maps your activities to the natural human energy curve throughout the day. High-energy tasks are placed during peak hours (8–11 AM and 3–5 PM), while low-energy tasks fill the post-lunch valley (1–3 PM). This alignment maximizes your cognitive output.

⚖️ Priority Weighting

High-priority tasks are placed first and get the best time slots. The algorithm uses a composite score combining priority weight (×3), energy alignment (×2), and gap fit quality to find the mathematically optimal placement for each activity.

☕ Smart Break Insertion

Based on research on focused work patterns, the optimizer automatically inserts 5-minute breaks after every 50+ minutes of continuous work, and 10-minute breaks after 2+ hours. This prevents cognitive fatigue and maintains sustained productivity.

🔒 Fixed vs Flexible Tasks

Fixed tasks (meetings, appointments) are locked to their times first. Flexible tasks are then optimally placed around them in the remaining gaps, ensuring no overlaps and maximum utilization.

💡 Pro Tips

• Mark your most important work as "Focus" type with "High" energy to get the best morning slots.
• Set recurring meetings as fixed tasks to build your flexible work around them.
• Keep task durations realistic — the optimizer works best with accurate estimates.
• A score above 80 means excellent energy alignment and coverage.
• Fewer context switches means less mental overhead between tasks.
