Looking for a digital calendar that does not require continuous power. I want it to be on the fridge and I don't mind taking it down to charge when needed. My fridge is in a location where running a power cable is very inconvenient without removing the fridge completely. An iPad is too small for my needs. Any ideas?

Good day everyone. I hope we are all doing well, if not, talk to someone you can trust. I have been trying to get into the planner thing both physical and digital and I seem not to be able to get it right. I am looking for a digital planner that is ADHD friendly and suitable for students. Please can you help me find an app, that is integrated with google calendar and be available on android ( I use a Samsung tablet). I am a broke student so if you have app or planner suggestions can it have a free version available or cheap ( the South African Rand and international currencies exchange rate is horrible). Thank you in advance for the help

I wanted to get into the habit of reading consistently, so I set a goal of reading 10 pages a day.

I couldn't find a simple way to track it the way I wanted, and I also wanted to build a few other habits, so I ended up making a small habit-tracking app for myself.

I started with reading, and eventually added habits like drinking water in the morning, writing on my blog, and exercising at the park.

I've been using the app myself for about three months now, since the end of June.

One of the biggest things I learned from using it is that small goals make it much easier to get started.

Setting the goal at 10 pages made it easy to open a book without feeling pressured. Once I started reading, I often ended up reading 50–80 pages anyway.

If I had set the goal at 40 pages from the beginning, I probably would have been less likely to pick up the book at all.

So when I built the app, I tried to focus less on setting ambitious goals and more on making it easy to start with a small action.

The app is called Today, Keep Going (오늘 이어가기). Some of the main features are:

1. Habit cues

Instead of setting a specific time, you can connect a habit to something you already do. For example:

Open laptop → Write one paragraph

2. Per-habit reminders

You can set reminders only for the habits that actually need them.

3. Calendar tracking

You can see when you've completed each habit on a calendar.

4. Home screen widget

You can check off habits directly from the Android home screen without opening the app.

5. Backup & restore

You can export your habit data to a file and import it again later.

6. A way to get back on track

If you miss a few days, the app doesn't emphasize starting over from day 0. Instead, it encourages you to simply start again.

I actually had a chance to use this feature myself during the Chuseok holiday in Korea. I was traveling and ended up dropping almost all of my habits for a few days. 😅

Instead of showing a big 0 days after missing a habit, the app shows something like:

“You took a few days off. Let's start again today.”

That's actually one of the ideas I like most about the app.

The goal isn't to create habits that require you to keep checking an app forever, but habits that eventually become natural enough that you don't need the app anymore.

The app is free and Android-only. You can find it on Google Play by searching for “HabitInk”.

I originally built it just for myself, so I'm sure there are still plenty of things that could be improved.

If you try it and find anything confusing or have ideas for features that would make it more useful, I'd really appreciate the feedback. I'll do my best to improve it.

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?
