01 / ORIGINAL AGENDA

What can change?

Inputs stay in this tab. No autosave or tracking. Download recipe JSON before closing or reloading. Ordinary page and asset requests still reach the host.

Workshop and local clock

24-hour local clock on the same day. No dates, overnight sessions or time-zone conversion.

Original and minimum: whole minutes, minimum at least 1. Protect keeps the original duration unchanged. Allow removal only marks an activity as eligible for a separate, explicit removal scenario. A protected activity cannot allow removal.

Cut order: 1 first, 9 last. Ties follow the displayed order. Keep breaks, accessibility pauses and essential outcomes protected when needed; the tool cannot decide these for you.

Version 1 · 200 KB · 1–60 activities, 200 characters per title. JSON stores original inputs only. Imports never adopt a proposal or approve removals. Invalid imports leave current work intact.

Make the trade-off explicit

This is a reduction worksheet for an existing agenda, rather than a method generator or a live event timer.

  1. Enter each activity’s original duration, shortest acceptable duration and cut order. Protect any duration that must stay intact.
  2. Set the same-day start and fixed end. Compare the draft: flexible rows shrink only as far as needed and never below their minimum. Nothing is automatically removed or lengthened.
  3. If the minimum total is too long, read the precise shortfall. Extend the slot or deliberately rethink the activity requirements. A number cannot establish facilitation quality.
  4. Review the full before/after table and cut list. If you explicitly permit optional removal, compare that separate scenario. Adopt a feasible draft for CSV or print HTML.

Limits and decisions that stay yours

What is protected?

Duration only. Activities remain in the same order but their clock starts may shift. This does not pin an activity to a fixed wall-clock time. Protecting a break does not verify that it is long enough or correctly placed.

What does “does not fit” mean?

The minimum total exceeds the target under your recorded constraints and selected removals. The displayed shortfall is exact for whole-minute arithmetic. It is not a claim that the workshop cannot be redesigned. Activity prerequisites and learning outcomes are not evaluated.

How do optional removals work?

They require an explicit eligibility setting, a separate selection and adoption of a feasible result. Nothing is dropped based on its title. Removals can leave buffer because entire activities are removed. Editing an input or selection invalidates adoption and disables agenda exports.

Can I keep the original or reopen it?

Original durations remain unchanged when you calculate, change the target or adopt a proposal. Download the original recipe JSON and reopen it later. No automatic browser storage, account, server sync, remote links, AI, email, calendar or payment connection is used.

What is outside this calculation?

Multiple days, overnight timing, time zones, parallel tracks, prerequisite validation, learning-quality judgments and live show control. Use up to 60 ordered activities, 200 characters per title and a same-day agenda. No measured time saving or business outcome is promised.
