If you want to try something in these lines, David Seah has some pretty awesome printables perfected over the years. I’ve used them like 10+ years ago, and I still like to print out some copies and tinker around. However, I have changed my ways of using pen and paper. His work is extremely detailed. I heard many restaurants have standardized on some of this work.

Thank you so much for this. I went down the rabbit hole on this guy's website and he is obsessed with categorization. I can't wait to try the emergent task list.

I hope I don't use it for a week and then stop :$

> If you have tentative plans like “lunch with a friend sometime next week” there is no obvious way to add this to your calendar in a way that differentiates it from an important appointment that can’t be missed.

Does Google Calendar not let you mark events as tentative? Outlook does and I’ve always taken that for granted.

Speaking of Outlook, they used to have a board view that I think was conceptually quite close to achieving the large free form canvas experience of a paper calendar. Retired years ago though. https://www.computerworld.com/article/1616186/how-to-use-out...

i need a digital calendar because i share it and other people put things into the calendar, that i need to know of.

I use pocket mod and make a custom 8 page todo/calendar that I use every day. It works well for me, but I’ve also adapted my life to the way it works.

In the morning you copy your calendar by hand to the pocket mod? What about dynamic event changes (e.g. additions, subtractions and reschedules)?

There’s something more optimal than my current attempt at strategic daily itineraries (which is quite poor) - a tug between the mechanical and the breathing, flexible and organic.

How does it work?
