Assignment Planner: Beat Your Deadline
Turn your deadline and word count into a day-by-day plan with a daily word target, then add it to your calendar.
How the assignment planner works
Enter your start date, deadline and word count. The planner splits your time into six stages, the same way tutors recommend: understanding the brief, research, planning, drafting, editing and a final check. Drafting gets the most time, and you get a daily word target so you always know if you're on track.
Add each stage to Google Calendar with one click, or download the whole plan as a calendar file that works with Google Calendar, Outlook and Apple Calendar.
Tips for sticking to your plan
- Start the research stage the day you get the brief, even if it's only 30 minutes.
- Write the first draft without stopping to edit. Editing comes later.
- Build in a buffer day before the deadline for technical problems.
- If you fall behind, cut research time rather than editing time.
Our guide on how to improve your assignment grade explains what to focus on at each stage.
Frequently asked questions
- How long should I spend on a 2,000 word assignment?
- Most students need one to two weeks for 2,000 words, including research and editing. With less time, the planner still gives you a realistic schedule and a daily word target.
- Can I add the plan to my phone calendar?
- Yes. Download the .ics file and open it on your phone, or use the Add to Google Calendar link next to each stage.
- Is my information saved?
- No. The planner runs entirely in your browser and nothing is sent to us.
