Estimate duration honestly
Enter the time you think the action itself needs. If preparation or travel is part of the action, include it rather than labeling the enjoyable part as the whole task.
A short task can still need support
A small action is not automatically an easy action. Duration, resources and circumstances all matter, so keep the non-time constraints visible when deciding what to do.
Put it into practice
Name the practical constraints
A walk may depend on a suitable route and weather; a call depends on another person being available. Put these in the constraints field so the duration check does not conceal them.
Use the result as a worksheet
The browser compares minutes only. It cannot assess accessibility, health needs or emotional readiness. Choose a different action, postpone the choice or seek appropriate support if the situation needs more than an organizational worksheet.
A worked example
Writing a letter fits the entered time, but you might not have a quiet place available. That is useful information to retain rather than a reason to pretend the action is already feasible.
Values and small-action planning worksheet
A value is easier to act on when you can name a small next step. Write what matters in the situation, list actions and their constraints, and compare their entered durations with the time you have. The worksheet helps you organize your own decision without evaluating your mental health.
The time check is simple arithmetic. It cannot tell whether an action is psychologically helpful, physically suitable or feasible in your circumstances. Entries remain in this page until you download them; there is no automatic save or human monitoring.

What to keep in mind
This worksheet supports reflection; it cannot diagnose or treat a condition and is not monitored by a person. It does not produce automated psychological judgments. Browser extensions or a shared device may be able to access text on a page.
