Basically I want a way to plan out my routine and stuff to accomplish on days of the week, like do X on Friday. I tried Planner but it seems to not have something like my latter example.
This is such a good app
Will look into it, wish there was a Linux equivalent though!
Emacs Orgmode
If you like command line: TaskWarrior has due and recurring tasks and weighted priorities and more. There are also some frontends under Tools, search for GUI, but to me they are more cumbersome than CLI. If you’re into Vim then vit might come handy.
See also Recurring tasks with taskwarrior.
I use vikunja for this it can self hosted or cloud hosted
I have been looking for good software for that in general for a long long time.
But everything I tried was too gimicky or too annoying to use.
I’ve simply settled with a calender app that I can sync through CalDav. It has a checklist for each day and thats that.
Otherwise I would probably go the Bob Bates way and just make a spreadsheet. ( Starting at 0:28:20 https://gdcvault.com/play/1023462/Leading-a-Creative-Life-in ) No bells, no whistles, it just works.
Probably this is what your looking for: https://weektodo.me/
It’s an open source weekly planner, works on windows, Mac, Linux and web
Sounds like any calendar.
a text file? todo.txt format works for me. with a language sensitive editor I get colours and can sort.
