# Featured Image Prompt: Sollstunden

**Post:** sollstunden
**Category:** lexikon
**Last Updated:** 2026-03-14

## Scene Type

**TIMER** (planned/target hours, time planning, reference hours)

**Rationale:**
- Sollstunden = planned/target hours, reference hours for time tracking
- TIMER scene type conveys time planning, target hours, and reference time
- Distinct from related topics:
  - arbeitszeitkonto: DESK (tablet/laptop showing abstract time blocks)
  - minusstunden: ABSTRACT (empty chair, deficit metaphor)
  - ueberstunden: ABSTRACT (overtime concept)
  - gleitzeit: ABSTRACT (flexible time)
  - arbeitszeitmodelle: DESK (workspace with schedule elements)
- TIMER is rare (only 5 posts use it), providing good visual diversity
- Conveys the concept of planned/target hours and time reference visually

## Core Concept / Metaphor

**Sollstunden = planned/target hours, reference hours for time tracking**
- Time planning: hours that should be worked according to contract/agreement
- Reference hours: baseline for comparing actual vs. planned hours
- Time tracking foundation: basis for Arbeitszeitkonto and time management
- Time balance metaphor: timer/progress ring showing planned hours vs. actual

## Key Elements (On-Theme, Concrete)

- **Timer/progress ring** (no digits, no text) showing planned/target hours
- **Minimalist workspace context** suggesting time planning and tracking
- **Soft natural lighting** creating depth and clarity
- **Balanced composition** conveying planned hours as reference point

## Why Not (Anti-Patterns)

- **Abstract nodes, flowing lines** – too cryptic, not recognizable as planned hours
- **Generic clock or sundial** – overused, literal time not planned hours concept
- **Desk with laptop showing schedule** – arbeitszeitkonto uses this, too similar
- **Abstract stacked blocks** – generic, not topic-specific
- **Empty chair or deficit metaphor** – minusstunden uses this, too similar
- **Blue sphere** – overused element

## Composition / Camera

**Elevated diagonal angle** showing timer/progress ring in focus with shallow depth of field. Background softly blurs to maintain focus on the planned hours concept. Natural light from side creating gentle shadows and depth.

## Mood / Atmosphere

**Planned, structured, professional** – conveys target hours and time planning foundation
