Types of scheduled activities
• Appointments – Scheduled events with a specified date and time. A meeting is a
good example because it is planned for a specified time on a specified day.
• Reminders – Untimed events with a specified date but no associated time, such as a
birthday or anniversary.
• To Do – Events or tasks that are defined over a period of time by a starting and an
ending date. An example of a task could be the writing and distributing of the minutes
of a meeting, because the writing of the minutes occurs over a period of time and has
a due date.
Adding appointments
Adding an appointment to DayMinder is easy:

dragging to the 3 p.m. end time. The same procedure may be followed to select a
block of time from the Weekly Planner panel. The selected block of time is indicated
on the left side of the Appointments panel beside the time and by a box in the Weekly
planner.
