That's exactly what I'm getting at. Why not put your "soft landscape" in your calendar?
For me my calendar has 3 types of data in it.
1. Hard landscape scheduled things either for a specific day or specific day and time that I cannot easily change or modify. Examples include: The dentist apt, the scheduled meeting with the county commissioners regarding gas drilling, the day the rams have to come out from the breeding pens and the day the backup rams have to go in.
2. Hard landscape things that I might want to attend or do but that I am unclear on. However, I know that if I don't reserve the time I'll never get the opportunity to decide later. Examples: The scrapbook workshop just before Christmas, the open house at the yoga studio, a know your farmer farm tour at a local orchard.
3. The diary of how my time was actually spent. The past history if you will. Examples, for yesterday I have the time I did chores blocked out and how many bales of hay each group of animals was fed. The time I spent working on my poultry scrapbook. the time I spent doing e-mail and forums. The time I spent paying bills and so on.
If I start putting soft things in my calendar then it get's very difficult to impossible to keep it current. Example: I have a soft item of going to the bank to order a check in UK pounds to pay for registrations for the rams. I think we might get to town today but maybe not until later int eh week. Should I put that item on a calendar and then have to juggle it forward each day? It only makes sense to just leave it on the list and when I go in to town check the list before I leave to make sure I've done all my errands.
