Questionnaire

Your answers are your settings. They become your weights — how much of the fortnight each category should get. Everything stays on this device. Save keeps it here, Download gives you the weights JSON, and Profile turns it all into files for your own AI workspace.

A profile is one saved set of answers — a person on a shared device, or your own alternative. The Overview and the assistant workspace follow the active one. Once a profile is saved, the dropdown at the top right switches profiles and starts new ones; Profile duplicates or deletes the active one. Names become ids like family and do not change once created.

Startup

1. How many people are in your group?

Groups stay on one device for now — one profile per person.

Answer

2. Do you already use a calendar, task list, reminder and/or budget system?

Add them one at a time on the Build page. Commitments are timed — appointments, lessons, work or school hours — and become the anchors your day’s blocks are cut around. Tasks have a day but no clock time, like chores and errands, and show on your day pages. Or have your assistant read your existing system and upload its import on the Assistant page; what it brought in is reviewed here and listed on the Build page.

Your day and year

The rest of the questions have preset defaults; change them now or later on this page. First the shape of a day and of a year: everything inside your waking window is the agenda’s scope. Your meals — names, prepping and cooking, when you eat them — are ForkKnife’s questionnaire, and the fortnight menu itself is its Spoon Feed page.

1. When are you awake?

Drag both ends — from waking up to winding down, 10–18 hours; the end may pass midnight. Outside it is your unscheduled block (wind-down, sleep, wake-up); inside it is cut into 1–4 focus blocks by your Focus answers.

2. On which day of the week do you start your week?

The day your fortnight restarts on: sections snap to it by default, every section starts on that weekday (week A or B), and the fortnight grid begins with it.

3. How do you like to split your year?

Semesters (school, off-season) (2)
Two halves of a school year: a fall semester (Aug – Dec) and a spring semester (Jan – May).
Quarters (financial quarters) (4)
Four quarters starting January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1.
Classic four seasons (4)
Spring, summer, autumn and winter, each opening on its equinox or solstice.
Gregorian months (12)
Twelve months, each starting on the 1st.
Lunar months (13)
Up to thirteen moons, each starting on a new moon.
Norse wheel (8)
Eight seasons of the Norse year — Yule, Thorrablot, Disting, Ostara, Walpurgis, Midsummer, Freyfaxi, Winter Nights — the solstices and equinoxes fixing four of them.
Astrological signs (12)
Twelve signs, Aries (from March 21) through Pisces (from February 19).
Custom — your own seasons, a religious calendar, anything
Name your own sections and how each one starts, in the editor below — it starts from FortKnight’s five seasons.

Section name (season, term, era…)

Title	Type	Gregorian equivalent	Weeks (min – max)	Starts with (words + rule)
				opens on

Your week

1. What weekday(s) do you like to schedule appointments on?

Leave empty for any day.

2. Which weekdays are your days off?

Rest days carry no work-type commitments; an assistant building your agenda keeps them lighter. Leave empty when every day is alike.

Focus

How the waking window is divided between the categories, and how many focus blocks a day earns.

1. How long can you spend on each in a single day?

Slide the bar for each subject to set a time range. Mark a subject "not often" to keep it out of your agenda; a few peripheral ones may still appear, marked as such. Tick "goal" on anything you want in the schedule but do not do at that level yet, and say where you are today. A category with a goal in it gets extra weight.

2. Mark which categories you struggle with, and which you enjoy.

Do not mark any subjects you have a neutral relationship with.

During an active emergency (sick days, out of town, etc.), a grieving or transition period, a time of struggle (health, financial, emotional, etc.), crunch time, or recovery:

5. Mark which of the following practices you participate in or would like to participate in:

Used for planning suggestions; it does not change your shares yet.

6. Do you want your day to include subjects or just categories?

Categories adds one wide-scope focus block to your day beside the blocks your standout categories earn (the default day is early, midday, late). Subjects keeps only the earned blocks; when nothing stands out, that is a single flexible block.

Subjects: detailed, task-oriented agenda
Categories: wide-scope focus where individual tasks are implied

About you

Context an assistant needs to turn the answers above into an actual agenda; nothing here changes shares.

1. When in the day are you sharpest?

Tells an assistant which block should carry your demanding focus (deep work, study, hard chores) and which carries the light ones. It does not change shares.

morning — sharpest early, fading through the day
midday — slow start, best in the middle of the day
evening — sharpest late in the day
it varies / no clear pattern

2. Anything an assistant should know when building your agenda?

Household and care duties, shift patterns, commutes, recovery or a season of life, what should alternate between week A and week B, anything the sliders cannot say. Kept with your answers and shared only through the workspace files you download.

Preview — share of the fortnight

Recomputed as you answer.

Preview — your day’s blocks

Your waking window sets the day’s scope; the rest is unscheduled. Each standout category earns a focus block — if none do, you get one flexible block. Blocks are cut around your fixed activities and appointments.
