⚙️ How It Works
This estimates total schedule time by adding content duration and planned breaks.
The Formula
Total Time = (Episodes × Min/Episode) + (Breaks × Min/Break)
💡Adding planned breaks before you start watching prevents late-night overruns. Estimating total time including breaks is the single best habit for healthier screen time.

| 4 × 45min | 3h | 3h 20m | 3h 45m | 4h 20m |
| 6 × 30min | 3h | 3h 20m | 3h 45m | 4h 20m |
