Before: Deadline Planner

Know when to start, not just when it's due. Deadlines are easy to set. Knowing when to begin is the hard part. Before is a smarter way to plan your time. Instead of simply reminding you when something is due, Before works backwards from your deadline to calculate when you should start. Whether you're preparing for an interview, completing a university assignment, moving house, planning a holiday or managing a project, Before helps you stay organised without the last-minute panic. PLAN BACKWARDS FROM ANY DEADLINE Tell Before what needs to be done, when it's due and how long each task will take. Before calculates your latest safe start date, taking into account task durations, dependencies and extra breathing room. KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT Break big deadlines into manageable tasks. Track what's completed, what's in progress and what's still waiting. As you make progress, Before recalculates your plan so you always know where you stand. BUILD IN BREATHING ROOM Life doesn't always go to plan. Add a safety margin to protect yourself against unexpected delays and see how much flexibility remains before your deadline becomes at risk. SEE THE IMPACT OF DELAYS Wondering what happens if something takes longer than expected? Use the delay simulator to explore how setbacks affect your schedule before making changes to your actual plan. START FASTER WITH TEMPLATES Don't know where to begin?
