Plan backward from the date that matters
Choose a target date, then turn the remaining time into manageable steps. Use days for short tasks, weeks for project milestones, and calendar months for longer plans. A recurring event automatically moves to its next occurrence after its date has passed.
Planning for Dst Starts
Review early appointments and cross-border meetings near the clock change. A calendar day remains one date step even when the local clock measures a 23-hour or 25-hour day.
How the calculation works
Day counts compare calendar dates and exclude the starting date. Whole weeks use groups of seven days; fortnights use fourteen. Months count complete calendar months, with any remaining days shown separately. Weekend counts count Saturdays strictly after the start date and on or before the target.
A useful next step
