Abstract: Mechanisms are described for helping users manage their time and achieve predefined goals. One or more goals for a user may be received (e.g., from the user or some other source), and activities that the user performs over a period of time may be monitored, where the activities are informative regarding how the user is progressing towards the goal. A calendar entry may be determined based on the user's monitored activity, where the calendar entry is designed to help the user move closer to his goal. The calendar entry may be accepted or rejected by the user, and if accepted may be added to the user's calendar. In this way, the user's time may be optimized, and the user may be able to take defined steps towards his goal by taking the actions suggested.

Abstract: A scheduling application prints a portable pocket sized hardcopy of information items such as scheduled items and task lists, and prints the information onto the pocket sized hardcopy in a consistent manner on each visible side of the hardcopy by rotating and inverting the printed material in anticipation of subsequent folding. The consistent manner encompasses inverting and arranging portions of the hardcopy along fold lines to enable folding that results in an upright orientation to the displayed text and figures. Conventional scheduling mechanisms are typically unwieldy to quickly initiate and enter a single item or entry. Electronic mediums need to be powered on, a keystroke, stylus, or pointing device sequence applied to access the corresponding scheduling or notepad application, and the information entered. Conventional paper mediums tend to be bulky and thus typically in a briefcase or purse, and often have binders or covers as well as page tabbing systems that need to be navigated.

Abstract: In the field of calendars the rule is a unit representation of the year from the 1 January—the first day of the year—till the 31 December—the last day—(an objective representation of time which follows the Gregorian calendar); the Anniversary Calendar, on the contrary, represents the annual period (of 365 days or, in case of leap years, of 366 days, considering that the solar year lasts 365 days, 5 hours and 49 minutes) starting from a fixed day and month (of the Gregorian calendar) in which an event is celebrated, until the eve of the annual anniversary day of the same event. The annual period so represented is divided up into 12 rectangles (each one containing 31 boxes). The first day of each rectangle will have the same number of the day of the event, except few exceptions indicated in the detailed description.
