Planned week vs. actual week

A Friday comparison of how you meant to spend your time and how the week actually spent you.

Everyone's week has two versions: the one planned on Monday and the one that happened. The distance between them is where the real information lives.

Most people never measure that distance, so the same surprise happens every week with a different costume.

THE ROUTINE

What it does

Every Friday, this routine compares your planned allocation against what the calendar and your screen say actually happened.

The gap gets a name -- meetings that grew, work that migrated, focus time that evaporated -- so next week's plan is built from evidence.

Set it up in three steps

  1. Open Littlebird and go to Routines, then create a new routine.
  2. Paste the prompt above. Adjust the days and times to fit your schedule.
  3. Littlebird runs it on schedule from then on. Pause or edit it anytime with auto-pause.
VS. CHAT SKILLS

Why not just use a skill?

You can fake this with a chat skill and enough copy-paste. Most people keep it up for a week, then stop -- because the copy-paste is the actual job.

A routine removes the choreography: the context is already there, the schedule is already set, and the output shows up where you need it.

And it is private by design: SOC 2, GDPR and CCPA aligned, running on your Mac.

FAQ

Does it track me minute by minute?

No. It compares plans against calendar reality and broad patterns of what you worked on -- categories, not surveillance.

What do I do with the audit?

Most people adjust one thing the following week: a recurring meeting, a misplaced focus block, an underestimated project.

What is the monthly cost?

Plus is $17 a month ($20 month-to-month) after 14 days free, with routines on every plan.

Can my employer see these reports?

Not through Littlebird. The output is yours, on your Mac. Your data is never sold and never used for training.
