Planning decides today. Seeing whether the plan held all month needs a record: a free habit tracker that shows the whole month on one screen.

Track it as a habit

How it is worked out

The page takes the time on your own device and measures how far it is through the year, the quarter, the month, the week and the day. A year is 365 days, or 366 in a leap year, so each day is about 0.27 percent of it.

Everything is measured on your clock, not a server's. Someone in Sydney is further through the year than someone in Los Angeles for most of a day, and each of them sees their own number.

The number people act on

Weekends left is usually the one that lands. Seventy-five percent of the year sounds abstract. Thirteen weekends sounds like a list of things you said you would do this year and a calendar that is running out.

Weekdays left counts Monday to Friday and does not remove public holidays, because those vary by country and region. Take off your own.

Use it for a goal, not a guilt trip

If you set a yearly goal, divide what is left of it by the weeks that are left. That is the weekly pace from here, which is more useful than the pace you should have kept since January. The reading goal calculator on this site does exactly that for books.

Questions people ask

How much of the year has passed?

The number at the top of this page, worked out live from your device's clock, along with the days, weekdays and weekends left.

How many days are left in the year?

Shown on the page, not counting today. It uses your local date, so it changes at your midnight.

Does it count holidays?

No. Weekdays left counts Monday to Friday only, because public holidays differ by country.

Numbers are easy. Doing it every day is the hard part.

A calculator tells you where you are once. If the thing you actually want is to keep something up, that takes a record rather than a result.
