"How to schedule the events around us?" This is a very interesting topic. in both computer science and daily life. And sometimes how well can you schedule is crucial determinant to the whole system or life.

When a lot of tasks crush on you, please not be panic. Scheduling algorithm may exist in computer science already.

In computer science, events has a lot of properties, such as starting deadline, completion deadline, priority, execution time etc.

Aim of scheduling: Complete all hard deadline tasks, and complete as many soft deadline tasks as possible. As to real life events, the hard and soft depend on the task itself. Hard task is what must be done. Soft task is what should be done to make us feel better.

On another level, hard or soft don't depend on the task itself, but on how ambitious you are. The more you want, the more you pay.

To schedule the events has some preconditions:
1. knowledge of the task deadline. (starting deadline or completion deadline)
2. the priority of the task.
2. task is periodical or episodic.

So when we encounter an event, we need to gather these information above about the task.(not limited, but essential)
How to schedule them is an issue of scheduling algorithm in computer science. What every algorithm is gonna be used, and task table with time line is essential. I think it is calendar in real life.

Hundreds of algorithm for scheduling exist.But there is always one principle: do it in a right way, not in a fast way. Because failure of one task leads to 10 or more times of work for compensation.

Try to use calendar and keep calm.
