Meditation Timer & Progression Calculator

Recommended Session and Weeks to Goal are both prescriptive, not descriptive -- they project where a typical practitioner at your Experience Level should be after a given number of Weeks of Regular Practice, independent of what your Current Session Length actually is right now. Experience Level sets both the starting-point duration (5 minutes for Beginner up to 30 for Advanced) and the weekly increase rate (fastest for Developing practitioners, at 1.5 minutes a week), so it has a far larger effect on both outputs than Weeks of Practice alone does -- changing Experience Level can move Recommended Session by dozens of minutes, while adding a handful of weeks moves it by only a minute or two. Current Session Length and Sessions per Week never feed the recommendation math (Recommended Session, Weeks to Goal) at all, but they do drive everything that tracks your actual logged practice: Weekly Practice Time, Monthly Practice Time, and Total Practice Hours all three feed from Current Session Length and Sessions per Week together (doubling Current Session Length alone moves Total Practice Hours from 7 to 13 at the default settings), and Next Milestone comes from Current Session Length on its own.

Consistency Score compares Sessions per Week against a target of 3 (Beginner/Developing) or 5 (Experienced/Advanced) sessions -- itself set by your Experience Level -- capped at 100%. This tool assumes a steady, linear-then-capped progression; real practice plateaus and setbacks aren't modeled, so use the output as a benchmark rather than a fixed schedule.
