I agree that diary and schedule seem synonymous, and I also use just one 
of them. Now that I've discovered planner-diary (Happy day! Thanks, 
Thomas), I use only the diary and am able to keep an 
automatically-updated daily schedule in each day page. For my own mental 
reasons, I set planner-diary-string to "* Schedule" -- somehow, "diary" 
isn't quite the term I want. As a general observation, the flexibility 
of all these tools seems to me such a great strength. Now that I have 
some rough idea of how some of this stuff fits together, I love being 
able to do something like set planner-diary-string and see that, aha, it 
works!
