Hours you leave out stay blank on the circle. Times can cross midnight — 22h → 6h works.

Type the start and end times and what you will be doing, and each wedge is drawn at exactly the right angle — the part that never comes out right by hand.

Daily planner
Makes the round daily plan set as school holiday homework. Type the times and each sector is drawn at exactly the right angle, fitted to one A4 page.
Twenty-four hours span 360 degrees, so an hour is 15 degrees and half an hour is 7.5. Measuring those by hand drifts, and the last block never closes properly. Typing the times does the arithmetic for you.
Hours you have not filled stay empty. If the circle does not close once you think you are done, something is missing — and you can see exactly where.
Print it without entering times and you get an empty circle with hour marks. Where the homework has to be handwritten, print it that way and let the child colour it in.
An empty circle gives no hint where to begin, so common blocks — sleep, breakfast, study — are already there. Change the times and labels, delete what you do not need and add rows for what is missing.
Blocks under three hours are labelled in smaller text. A long name in a one-hour block spills outside the sector, so keep those labels short. Overlapping blocks are drawn one over the other, later on top — if the circle looks wrong, check the times for overlap first.
The list where you type the times is not printed. The page carries the title, the circle, the hour marks and the labels. The circle fills the width of a portrait A4 sheet, and the hour numbers stand outside it — 24 marks for a 24-hour circle, 12 for a 12-hour one.
11pm to 7am works fine — it wraps around the circle without breaking.
Yes. The 24-hour circle is the default and a 12-hour circle is also available. The 12-hour circle looks like a clock face, which suits a child still learning to read one, but 9am and 9pm land in the same place — for a whole day's plan the 24-hour circle is the right choice.
Colours are assigned automatically, cycling through eight pale shades. They are kept pale so the labels stay legible when printed. There is no colour picker, so if you are printing in black and white, distinguish blocks by their labels.
It is printed, so it may not suit homework that must be handwritten. In that case print the blank circle and let the child fill it in.
A block whose start and end are the same is not drawn. A 24-hour block is the whole circle and has nothing to divide.
Times are entered in whole hours. For a half hour, round to the nearest hour and put the exact time in the label.
No. Draw them in after printing — for homework a child decorates, that is better anyway.
