WriteMyPapers.net Essay deadline planner
Enter the day you start and the day the essay is due. The planner splits the time into five stages, gives each one dates and a clear finish line, and can export the plan to your calendar.
What this tool does, and what it doesn’t
- It helps you do your own work: it schedules the stages of your own work. It does not do any of them for you.
- WriteMyPapers.net does not write, sell or edit essays or papers, and never will. No tool here writes your essay for you.
- Submitting work you did not write yourself, whether bought, copied or generated by AI without permission, is academic misconduct at almost every university. Check your institution’s academic integrity policy, especially on AI tools.

How it works
The available days (excluding weekends if you untick them, and keeping the last day free if you choose a buffer) are shared out between five stages:
| Stage | Share of the time |
|---|---|
| Understand the question and research | 30% |
| Thesis and outline | 15% |
| First draft | 30% |
| Revise structure and argument | 15% |
| References and proofreading | 10% |
The split is a rule of thumb, not a research finding: research and drafting take the most time, and leaving revision to the last evening is what most often costs marks. With five or more days, every stage gets at least one day of its own. With fewer, stages share days and the planner warns you.
Example
Starting on Monday 1 December with an essay due on Monday 15 December, weekends included and a one-day buffer, the 14 working days split into: research 1–4 December, outline 5–6 December, draft 7–10 December, revision 11–12 December, references and proofreading 13–14 December, and submission on the 15th.
Frequently asked questions
What if I only have two or three days?
The planner still gives you an order of work, with several stages on the same day. Keep the stages short and in sequence, and if the deadline is unrealistic, ask your tutor about an extension early rather than at the last minute.
Does it send anything to a calendar service?
No. The .ics file is generated in your browser and downloaded to your device; you choose whether to open it in your calendar.
Can I change the percentages?
Not in the tool, but you can edit the events in your calendar. A literature review usually needs more research time; a reflective essay more drafting time.
