Does anyone know of software I can use to map my weekly schedule?

Does anyone know of a program that will work on a Mac that will help me easily produce an unschedule as described by Neil Fiore in The Now Habit? I am looking for a software program that I can use to create a template of my various daily schedules. I am not looking to do this for each day and I am not looking for something like iCal or Outlook where you plan appointments and the like. I want to create a template of my week that I can apply to each individual week. (I am trying to create weekly habits of activity). An added complication is that my weeks are different, so I will actually have a few templates that will fit Week type A, Week type B, etc. Any suggestions? My first preference is something I could download rather than something web based, but I am open to any suggestions. Thanks!

Can Final Cut Pro 4.5 import LiveType 2 and Soundtrack 1.5 files? I'm considering buying Final Cut Express 3.5 specifically to get these updated programs to replace the LT & Soundtrack 1.2 versions native to FCP 4.5.

What does the market for Mac software look like? I'm researching Mac software development opportunities, and I'm looking for info on the current state of the market (including general articles/statistics and sites of successful indie Mac developers). Also, I'm curious about what others think about how the iPhone, the growth in Mac market share, and the fact/possibility of businesses switching to Mac will drive growth.

I'm especially interested in anecdotes along the lines of "Here's what's happening in my company/university/industry."

Thanks!
