Questions

How early should I ask for a reference letter?

Ask at least three weeks before the deadline, and send a polite reminder about a week before. Busy lecturers and managers appreciate the notice.

How do I add the plan to my calendar?

Download the .ics file and open it. Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook can all import it as all day events.

What if some dates have already passed?

The planner flags those tasks so you can do them first, and puts them on today's date in the calendar file.
