6.1 Starting with Day Pages

planner-goto-today opens today's page. Day pages are named ‘YYYY.MM.DD’ and contain your notes for the day. They can also be named ‘YYYY-MM-DD’ if you prefer – just customize the value of planner-date-separator.

You should see a file that looks like this:

     * Tasks
     
     
     * Schedule
     
     * Notes

You can type anything you want into this file. You can add or delete sections.

Use the following commands to navigate through day pages:

— Function: plan

Start planning the day. If planner-carry-tasks-forward is non-nil, copy the most recent unfinished tasks to today's page, else open the most recent page.

— Function: planner-goto (C-c C-j C-d)

Prompt for a date using a calendar pop-up and display the corresponding day page. You can specify dates partially. The current year and month are used if omitted from the input. For example, if today is 2004.05.05, then

In the calendar buffer, you can also left-click or press <RET> on a date to select it.

— Function: planner-goto-today (C-c C-j C-j)

Display today's page. Create the page if it does not yet exist.

— Function: planner-goto-tomorrow (C-c C-j C-t)

Goto the planner page days after the currently displayed date. If days is nil, go to the day immediately after the currently displayed date. If the current buffer is not a daily planner page, calculate date based on today.

— Function: planner-goto-yesterday (C-c C-j C-y)

Go to the most recent day with planning info.

— Function: planner-goto-next-daily-page
