One feature I always wanted calendars/todo apps to have is support for repetitive tasks. For example - say I need to service the car every year so I create a corresponding repeating event in my calendar. However, at some point I decide to service the car a couple of months sooner or later than planned. Now, the events are out of sync and I have to reschedule the whole series so it doesn't drift. Or, if I'm past the p…

I realized that most people are looking at the tools to solve their problems and hoping that it will somehow nudge/pressure/force/cajole them into doing their tasks. However, I believe that no external tool will be meaningful unless you develop a system or a pattern of acting on how to get things done.
I was a very early user of teuxdeux.com, Fantastical, etc. and have subscribed for a while. I like the idea of Your Life in Weeks[1], so I'm currently subscribed to TimeStripe[2]. However, it looks like I'm better off just journaling and mind-mazing my future in plain-text[3]. If I need something, I might copy or design up something.
Like the other comments, my take is, Tweek indeed looks beautiful and brilliant, and I will try it (signing up now).
But then, with such tools, my usual outcome is -- hmmm, I believe I can do that without the tool(s). Here is how my current calendar/todo pattern works;
- "Important and Urgent" ones are scheduled in the calendar.
- "Urgent but Not Important" are delegated or sent to the right person.
- "Important but not Urgent" are in a running plain-text (todo) that I might visit weekly or monthly.
- The above may also have a "Maybe" list that is Neither Important NOR Urgent, which I might cancel, defer, or wait until it gets resolved.
Suggest just "17th", since the month name is written in big above anyway.
It works better than screenshots
