I don’t know how to answer most of these questions. I work weekends often and can’t qualify many other variables due to my nonstandard 9-5.

Same here but for other activities. If I exercise two times a week, how many minutes do I spent on it daily? I don't know what 2/7th of an hour is.

For an hour twice a week, 0.25hrs per day average is very close to being accurate.

I get that, thanks :) I think it would be good to ask for weekly spent time on activities though since it is easier to estimate and calculate. Lots of the activities you ask for aren't done daily, but probably weekly or biweekly.

Yeah, my work schedule is 2 on 2 off, there’s literally no such thing as a weekend for me.

Then set the week days and the weekends the same and make them half of what you work during you ON weeks.

I'm baffled that so many people are struggling with the idea of estimating average activity in a week. This isn't science; just estimate something close and look at the output.

It should still work fine for you :) Just figure out a daily average for your whole week then divide it by 7, then set both weekday and weekend work hours the same. For all other inputs it's the same, try to find an approximate weekly total then divide it by 7.

Or, the programmer can just add hours to the slider, which is a hilarious oversight that makes this website useless.
