What they did
Every morning at 7, the agent puts the day's calendar, top to-dos and weather on a paper-like e-ink screen in the living room. The author's wife reads it over coffee, and it became the family's shared to-do list. Setup took about 20 minutes.

Put any calendar conflicts at the top. Send it to [my e-ink display / a page I can open on a spare tablet] so everyone at home can see it.
