Recording unit for integrated electronic and paper-based scheduling

A scheduling facilitation system includes a recording unit, a markable surface (e.g., a template), and a stylus. The recording unit includes a memory, a logic design implementation (e.g., software and/or hardware), and a working surface. The memory stores an electronic representation of a schedule. The logic design implementation serves to correlate the working surface to the schedule. The working surface is superimposed with the markable surface. A stylus stroke signal (e.g., a first radio frequency) conveys to the recording unit scheduling information for a selected entry location of the schedule. A stylus stroke mark (e.g., ink) concurrently conveys to the markable surface the scheduling information. The memory stores the scheduling information. The memory stores the scheduling information. A check signal (e.g., a second radio frequency and/or a soft button activation) can search for scheduling opening(s) and/or conflict(s).
