+**Module:** Project
+
+Personal task views and timesheet integration help you plan a realistic workload and protect your most productive time.
+
+## Copy
+
+Most people plan their weeks based on optimistic assumptions. They'll get more done than last week. The meetings will be shorter. The interruptions will be fewer. When reality inevitably diverges from plan, frustration follows. The week collapses under the weight of unfinished tasks, and the cycle repeats: overcommit, fall short, overcommit. This pattern isn't a personal failing—it's a planning problem that lacks accurate input.
+
+This module makes planning realistic. Personal task views give individuals a clear picture of everything they've committed to. Timesheet integration reveals how much time work actually takes, not how long we wish it would take. With this data, realistic workload planning becomes possible—and protecting the most productive time becomes feasible. The result is weeks that work: plans that account for reality, not optimism.
+
+For copywriters: Focus on the optimism gap—the gap between how much we plan to do and how much we actually can. Position data-driven planning as the solution that bridges this gap. The audience should recognize their own weekly cycle of overcommit and disappointment.
