Hey Everyone, Evan here, creator of the newDay Planner. It started with an experiment of organizing the minutes of my day differently, and ended up with stumbling on a suprisingly sensible alternative to the 24-hour day. From there, I created a tool that I could use to help me plan and visualize the entire plan for my day in a way that wasn't as easy to do in 24 hour time. Having just 10 newHours to think about really is nice. Most recently I added the weather integration so that your day is illuminated with local weather data. It can be very helpful to know when you are planning your schedule if it will be sunny out! The newDay Planner has been critical for me in organizing my time while I am in quarantine. I sincerely hope that it will help you, too. Intentionally, Evan

So cool! I love how it makes you think about time in a different way. over time I wonder if you can do something similar to weekly/monthly/annual calendars...reminds me of The Wait But Why article where it puts into perspective how little time you have with your parents once you move out! (Writes this from my parents house, not how I thought my life would turn out)

This completely changed the way I move through time. Helped me shift from manager time to maker time during quarantine, something I had been struggling with immensely at first. The one thing that I'm finding difficult about adapting to newDay is maintaining two calendars. Do you have any plans to integrate with gcal?

as an engineer i've found the 100 minute hours to be a much better way of structuring my time, since they match the pattern of deep work much more clearly

Scott Flansberg has been looking at time too. Have you seen his work? Here is a quote on his calendar: "The Human Calculator Calendar has 365 days divided into 13 months of 28 days each and the first day of the year is the Zero Day. The 13 months are numbered 0-12. Every month has 4 weeks. Every date falls on the same day of the week every month." http://www.scottflansburg.com/store

My OCD is loving the round numbers (100 minutes, 10 newHours) 🤗 Thanks for helping me make the best out of quarantine :)

Hey, I love the concept. Here's what I suggest improving or adding: (1) Favicon for adding the PWA to the home screen, (2) the "set intention" is nice, but how about adding tasks or to-dos to it, i.e. by choosing every evening the most important priorities for tomorrow (https://pmarchive.com/guide_to_p...). (3) If you have the location and therefore sunrise/set data, you could add circadian rhythm events to it (let's say the best time to wake up, the best time to have breakfast/lunch/dinner, the best time for sports, the best time to start evening routine) (4) maybe even the option to use the same layout but with our current standard time (some people have meetings and cannot "switch" to 100 minute hours without getting some kind of confused. Good Job, I'll set it as my standard new tab page and see how it will work out :)

That sounds and looks cool, I'll give it a try. One piece of feedback right off the bat: consider not using cmd + arrow to move from hour to hour, when writing a note, and it's already a useful shortcut to move from to the beginning or end of a line.

It's insane how little time we spend building tech to improve the way we interact with time. Can't wait to try it! +1 on the gcal integration.

As someone with ADHD and time blindness, I have been looking for something like this to help me visually track my day. I often need to see where I'm at in terms of accomplished tasks. I bet this would be great integrated not only with gcal, but with something like todoist.

this is really cool! :) i'd love to see it as na Android app, or maybe it could be just packaged as a PWA.

This is neat, have been breaking my awake time into quarters. Excited to try this out.

Intriguing concept. Quite keen to see how the product will shift human behaviour or at the very least add a new dimension.

I’ve been using this product for over a week now and have really enjoyed the flexible, malleable structure that “intentions” provide. It’s super simple to get back on track when the inevitable hiccup happens, and I love that my newDays can start at different times depending on my schedule. It’s also very simple to plug in external commitments (work, school, meetings, appts etc) that function on oldTime. Thank you, Evan, for putting your resources into this. Echoing others’ sentiments; I love that you’re thinking about our relationship with time. “Time” is so valuable & this product has helped me stay present and focused while I make the most of my 1000 waking minutes.

Love to use the product! I’ve set it up as my new chrome tab page. The biggest thing for me is how this makes me think about my real intentions for the day and not see it just in terms of commitments.

As someone who is completely frustrated by the lack of adoption of the metric system here in 'Murica, I am super excited to give this re-imagining of time a go. I love the thinking behind it. Excellent job, Evan!

There isn't a way to leave feedback in product, but it seems the font is turning 'fi' into a dot on my OSX chrome browser.

This is awesome! I've been looking for ways to restructure my day and be more intentional about how I spend my time. My normal calendar often feels like a tool for other people to use, but newDay creates a space just for me that actually mirrors how I work! Would love to see a lock screen and smart watch integrations next so I can more deeply integrate the blocks into my day-to-day activities. Keep up the great work!

Really cool concept. Excited to try it out over the next week - would love to provide feedback directly from product when you're able to add 😇

Congrats, this is neat
