Received amazing insight from @draft8.

Sadly this plugin doesn’t seem to exist anymore.

Kaitlin Salzke wrote a plug-in called Estimate Total Time that’s very similar:

p.s. She also has more excellent plug-ins in her OmniFocus Plug-Ins library:

She recently showcased some of her plug-ins on my Learn OmniFocus site:

Clicking Show Original seems to lead to a 404 ?

Attached is an AppleScript I made about a decade ago that thankfully still works for those doing pomodoros.

I modified “Update Estimated Durations ” to have a few more options in there with 1 minute and 20 minutes.
