How Much of the Week Has Gone?

The week as a live percentage, with each day marked off as it passes.

Week progress as a single live percentage, with the seven days marked off as they pass. It is a blunter instrument than a to-do list and occasionally a more honest one: at Wednesday lunchtime you are not halfway through the week, you are past it.

Elapsed time versus working time

The bar measures elapsed calendar time, so by Friday evening it reads about 71% while your working week is finished. If you track effort rather than hours, midweek is the natural checkpoint — the reasoning is in Wednesday productivity and the weekly review ritual.

Frequently asked questions

How is the percentage calculated?
From the start of your week — Monday at 00:00 — to now, as a fraction of the full seven days.
Does the week start on Monday?
Yes, following ISO 8601. Under the Sunday-start convention the same moment gives a different percentage.
Why does Friday evening show around 71%?
Because the bar measures calendar time, and the weekend is still ahead. Five of seven days is roughly 71%.
