One of the features one of the PIM's I used years ago had that I found incredible was the ability to create a background layer for the calendar that was a template for each day.  It wasn't about specific things you'd be working on each day, but rather a template of your day if you will, into which you then scheduled your actual events.  I found it useful and still use something like that to this day, but finally ended up just throwing it into an Excel spreadsheet, since Outlook does not support such a thing in any elegant way.  I've attached an example.
 
Obviously such items could be entered as actual events on the calendar, but that screws everything up, you've got to create recurring events for every day of the year, and end up with a huge list of events that are not things you actually do, and the actual real events entered in those times creates two events side by side.  I realize this is a specialized request that most users might not see value in, but what the hey.
 
That brings me to a question - did I just imagine that IQ supported multiple calendars?  I don't see it, but thought at one time I saw that listed as a feature.
 
Thanks

I think IQ might/will support calendar dates filtering, I guess you could assign a TemplateDate field for that and filter it out/in at will.
 
(In Outlook : I just use another calendar to do what you described)
