I use calcurse, with the main directory for daily, and subdirectories for Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly. I have aliases defined to reach these subdirectories because I am lazy: # calcurse stuff export Week='-D .calcurse/Weekly' export Month='-D .calcurse/Monthly' export Quarter='-D .calcurse/Quarterly' expor…
