How to use Executive Function Task Breakdown
- Enter a realistic focused-work window, excluding breaks.
- Write one observable action per step with a start cue.
- Estimate minutes and identify blocked steps.
- Choose a manageable first step and update status after doing it.
Calculation
Remaining minutes sum all non-done steps. Ready minutes sum To do steps. Blocked minutes are reported separately. Ready time gap = max(0, ready minutes − available work minutes).
Try the fictional example
Two ready steps taking 10 and 20 minutes need 30 minutes. A 25-minute work window leaves a five-minute ready-work gap.
Limits
A planning aid, not treatment or diagnosis. Estimates do not guarantee completion. It does not choose priorities or send reminders.
Save, restore and export
Add entry creates another record. Edit any field directly or use Remove entry to delete a row. Changing inputs clears the previous report so it cannot be mistaken for current results. Choose Calculate / review results again when your changes are ready.
Save on this device keeps an editable worksheet in this browser only. On a later visit in this browser, your saved worksheet loads automatically. Restore device save can also reload the last save after you confirm replacement. Saving drafts is allowed, but a report requires valid, complete inputs. Download backup creates a versioned JSON file for the same tool. Import backup shows the worksheet label and row count before replacing current work; it does not change the device save until you press Save.
Download CSV exports the settings, summary, row details and calculation notes. CSV is for spreadsheet review; it cannot restore this worksheet. Print / Save PDF recalculates the current entries and opens your browser’s print dialog. Choose Save as PDF where supported. The report excludes navigation, guides and product CTAs. Clear data removes the current worksheet and its device save after confirmation; keep a backup first if needed.
Use a personal browser for private records and keep important backups separately. Entered worksheet fields are not included in our planner-action analytics.
On Android Chrome, device save stays in the same browser. Keep a JSON backup for portability. For PDF, use the browser print dialog and choose Save as PDF when available; printer and share menus vary by device. Physical phone behavior depends on the device and is not certified by desktop browser tests.
CSV and PDF are reports. Use JSON for editable recovery. Device saves stay in this browser; clearing browser data can remove them.
