Viewing a schedule with tasks

For me, I really love the Franklin-Covey daily planner pages that allow a schedule on one half of a page and a To Do list on the other, so that I can see both at once and make priority changes with both in mind. Also, for me, my written schedule seldom goes as planned, so putting a schedule into an electronic format usually is more trouble than it's worth, since I'll usually have to change it. So, my main dilemma is not being able to see a schedule beside the To Do list. How have any of you dealt with this?

BTW, is there a search engine for this forum? It's rather tedious to try to go through each post to look if anyone had this similar problem.

  I always import today's appointments into Doit, in order to have it all on one list.
  
  I see no abolute need to see my future appointments alongside my tasks, because the tasks typically are not date related. I need to review my tasks from a different angle, as it were. I usually review them by Goal and Project to ensure I have everything covered in each one of them. In such cases it would have been nice to be able to have Calendar actions synced between my calendar and Doit, such that I can see my complete projects (complete with appointments etc) in Doit,
  
  Doit does have syncing, but it destroys the entries in the external calendar, so I cannot really use it. Also I need the Scheduled list even more for GTD Ticklers ("impossible to do before") than for Calendar actions (fixed date/time), and Doit does not allow me to distinguish between Ticklers and Calendar actions, so I keep it clean by having my Ticklers in Scheduled and my Calendar actions in my calendar.

  I think that you can select the option not to delete calendar entries on completion, which will keep them in the calendar after syncing.

  Yes, true, but if you use that option they will get a little checkmark on them, which may confuse other users of that shared calendar (who may not be familiar with Doit at all), and, worst of all, if you trash a calendar item in Doit (say, a meeting that only others on the team need to attend, but not you) then that item will be removed from the shared calendar.
  
  But I suppose you are right, if used with a degree of caution it might perhaps work even as it is. I got scared when I played with it a year ago, though, and have not dared to use it ever since.
