Ken's Study Planner integrated daily goals checklist, projects and events trackers, schedule and checklists. I always use it to boost my time-management skills.
I use it to plan my study and exams, manage my daily goals, lessons and items checklists, and so on.
Since I am a student with programming skills, I have made my website and this web-based Planner app to solve my planning difficulties.
Today, I am going to teach you how to use my Study Planner web app to boost your time-management skills. Follow me!

Introduction
Before starting my tutorial, let's introduce Ken's Study Planner itself, including its features and benefits.
General Information
Initially, at the beginning of 2021, my Study Planner was previously called "Personal Management" which could only be used by myself.
The reason why the Study Planner was not available to the public is that it had not only insufficient features but also potential security issues.
Then, in July 2021, I generated a name "Study Planner" and opened it to the public for registration so that everyone around the world can sign up and use it.
Now, there are approximately 30 users on the Study Planner. A major source of users comes from China, plus some users in Singapore, South Africa and Australia.
In other words, it will probably be one of my successful projects.
Benefits
Here, there are some benefits on the planner. For example,
- Dark/Night mode is supported (using Apple system settings),
- Intuitive interface,
- No apps required,
- Free Forever,
- Supports IPv6 networks,
- Has English and Chinese (简体中文) versions. (since I am a Chinese student)
While I am studying, I take my free time to make this app to help me plan my study easily. It is completely free and this is similar to volunteering.
It is like Hurricane Electric, a global Internet backbone company that also provides free services including free IPv6 TunnelBroker and computer networking tools.

It is similar to Calendar, but you can use both Planner and Calendar simultaneously.

6. Fill in your Schedule
A new feature on my Planner is the schedule and lessons feature.
It displays your next event and lesson based on your schedule. This is similar to the announcement on the underground (e.g. "The Next Lesson is Mathematics").
Just fill in the time and name. If it is a lesson, you can tick the checkbox.
You need to set up your schedule literally from Monday to Sunday, but you can reuse other day's schedule using the drop-down box on the top and then modify it.
