How to manage events and to-dos in one app
Short answer: use a planner calendar that shows the selected day's events and to-dos on the same page. You stop copying plans between two apps and see the whole day at once.
Why two apps do not work well
Events have a time; tasks often do not. When they live in separate apps you check two places, forget one, and rewrite the same plan. Reviewers describe it as "having to write to-dos separately was so inconvenient".
How Planquill puts them together
- Home: month calendar on top, the selected day's agenda below with events first and to-dos with check boxes.
- To-do tab: every task in one list, with or without a date.
- Widget: today's events and to-dos on the home screen.
- Reminders: a notification before events you care about.
A simple daily routine
- In the morning, check today in the widget.
- Add tasks as they come up; give a date only to the ones tied to a day.
- Tick them off as you go, and move unfinished ones to tomorrow.
FAQ
Can one app handle both my calendar and my to-do list?
Yes. In Planquill the selected day shows its events and its to-dos together, and a To-do tab lists every task.
Can a to-do have no date?
Yes. Add it in the To-do tab without a date, and give it a date later if you want it on the calendar.
Can I see today's events and to-dos on the home screen?
Yes. The today agenda widget shows both.
