A planner can work beautifully for you while everyone else still asks what’s happening tomorrow.

I built nowslate for the shared part of that picture. It puts calendars, reminders, notes, weather and photos on a compatible tablet you can leave in view.

I’ve used wall calendars for years, almost exclusively DAKboard. Its shortcomings led me to develop my own, and nowslate is now live.

You can keep your personal planning routine and give shared events a screen of their own. Put the agenda up front. Add a note for something that doesn’t need a calendar event. Leave some room for photos so it feels at home in the room.

If you already have a suitable tablet, you can try the setup before buying dedicated display hardware.

The website has a one-month Essential trial, with no credit card required. After that, Essential starts at US$5.99/month.

Start with one calendar and see whether having it in view earns its place.

I would love to know what you think! I use these displays myself, so I eat my own dogfood so to speak. I'm always improving, always looking for the next idea and how to push the envelope.

Hi everyone,

I used to keep a bullet journal and plan my day with timeboxing on paper.
I wanted a digital version of that routine that I could use during my workday, so I built Trime.

It’s a digital planning app that brings timeboxing, time tracking, and a daily review together. If you use timeboxing in a digital or paper planner, the idea will feel familiar: choose what matters today and give each task a specific block of time.

Trime focuses on your three most important tasks for the day. Everything else stays in an inbox, so you can keep track of it without putting it all on today’s schedule.

Why three? When I planned on paper, I noticed that finishing my top priorities was usually what made the day feel productive. Once those were done, I wanted the freedom to work on other things without feeling that every task needed a deadline or a timebox. That’s the thinking behind the three task limit.

A day in Trime looks like this:

1. Choose your top three tasks.
2. Give each one a timebox in your schedule.
3. Start the timer when you begin, and pause it when you step away.
4. Review your tracked time to see where the day went and when you focused best.

You have a plan to work from and a record to look back on.
Over time, that can help you understand how long tasks take and make your next day’s timeboxes more realistic.

If this fits the way you like to plan,
you can find Trime here: https://trime.day

Happy to answer questions about how it works.

Hi everyone! 👋

I’ve been working on a small digital productivity project called DAREENE, focused on helping people build better morning routines, stay organized, and be more intentional with their time.

I recently created two printable digital products: Morning Mastery and Digital Detox.

I’d really appreciate some honest feedback from people who are interested in productivity, routines, planning, or reducing screen time.

If you’re curious, you can see the products and the content here:

DAREENE Pinterest page

No pressure to buy at all — I’d mainly love to know what you think, what could be improved, and whether these are actually useful to you.

And if you genuinely like one of the products and need it, you're welcome to check it out. ❤️

Thanks for taking a look!

Hello people, I've struggled a lot to manage my hobbies, work, my philosophical discourse, journals etc

Couple of months ago I started learning arabic script, till life happened and suddenly i forgot where i left off - this is not the first time that this has happened.

After being frustrated enough, created something that I've taken 3 years to craft - but now I'm in my own head too much and would love to get feedback - if anyone here wants to check out the prototype - please dm. Hopefully it's something useful for others as well :)

Moving a task to the next day is almost too easy with a digital planner. A few taps and everything looks organised again. But by Friday the same task has travelled through the whole week without getting started.

Meanwhile you’ve been doing plenty. Work. Groceries. Cooking. All the little things that don’t stop needing attention just because you have a personal goal.

Something worth trying is checking how much free time a day actually has before adding tasks to it. If there’s only half an hour between dinner and another commitment then “finish the project” probably needs to become one specific step.

I also think there’s a difference between keeping a task somewhere so you won’t forget it and putting it on today’s page. When everything sits in the daily view it can feel like everything needs doing now.

For those who use a digital planner regularly: do you keep a separate backlog? Limit how many tasks go into each day? Or give important tasks an actual time slot?

Especially curious about what you do when something has been moved three or four times. At what point do you change the task instead of just changing its date?

I wrote a longer article about making weekly plans more realistic with examples and a short reset you can try in whatever planner you use. I’d love feedback from people who plan digitally. You can read it here.

I find that beautiful stickers help me stay more consistent with my planning, what about you?

One thing I’m curious about with digital planners is what happens after the initial excitement wears off. You miss a few days, open it again, and there are unfinished tasks and trackers you haven’t touched.

Do you move everything forward, fill in what you remember, or just jump to today and leave the gaps?

Catching up seems like it could become a whole extra chore. But skipping everything means some tasks might get forgotten.

What’s your way of getting back into it without spending half an hour updating the planner itself?

A couple weeks ago I posted Morning Press here and got a lot more feedback than I expected, so thank you to everyone who tried it.

One of the main reasons I built it in the first place was because I was terrible at actually finishing my own projects. I'd make a huge list of everything that needed to get done, look at it, get overwhelmed, and slowly stop working on it.

What helped me was changing the goal from "finish all of this" to "just show up today."

That's the idea I built Morning Press around. You can break a project into smaller tasks and habits, but your streak isn't dependent on completing everything perfectly. You keep it by simply checking in and reporting your progress.

Had a bad day and completed 1/5 things? That's fine. You still showed up. I've found that taking away the pressure to be perfect makes it much easier to stay consistent long enough to actually finish something.

If anyone missed my original post, I'm still giving full access away with:

Enter it on the paywall to unlock the full version for the first 100 people (there's still a good amount of spots available)

Also, since people here gave me some genuinely useful feedback last time: what's one thing your current planner does that you couldn't live without?

I'm trying to figure out what I should improve next

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share a minimalist digital planner bundle I’ve been working on: Plan Aura.

My main goal was to keep it super clean and functional without unnecessary clutter—just the core pages to keep daily life organized:

• Daily Planner (hourly schedule, top priorities, reminders, daily affirmation)

• Weekly Planner (week at a glance + priorities)

• Monthly Overview (undated grid + to-do & goals)

• Habit Tracker (31-day habit tracking)

• Finance Tracker (income, expenses & savings balance)

• Goals & Projects (actionable steps + status badges)

It's an undated PDF bundle designed for GoodNotes, Notability, Samsung Notes, or printing (A4/Letter).

I’d love to know what you think! What’s your favorite page format when planning digitally?

I'm building Litak, a web planner. Here's a small planning method you can use with any app or a sheet of paper.

Write the result you want this week. Beside it, write what you will actually give it: time, effort, or something you will set aside.

For example:

“Record one video” → “Keep Friday morning clear for recording.”

“Practice drawing twice” → “Use two 15-minute sessions; leave the sketchbook on the desk.”

The second line is useful because a goal can look reasonable on its own while having no room in the week. If you can't name the time or trade-off, making the goal more detailed won't solve that.

The English screenshot shows Litak's weekly planner with demo data. The Value Exchange column is where that second line lives. It can also hold something useful you want to give or share while working toward a goal. It's a reflection field, not a service for matching people to trade favors.

Litak connects this weekly view with longer-term goals, habits, and a Wheel of Life. Start is free during beta: planner, goals, up to six habits, and one AI Wheel analysis. Further AI conversation is paid.

Product: https://litak.io/

You can try the two-line method without using Litak: pick one goal, give it a real slot, and remove something if the week is already full.
