appointment calendar
A calendar in book form or as a digital application in which you enter your appointments and meetings in order to organize them.
Ich muss kurz in meinen Terminkalender schauen, ob ich nächste Woche Zeit habe.
I need to quickly check my appointment calendar to see whether I have time next week.
The word is a clear compound of 'der Termin' (appointment) and 'der Kalender' (calendar). So it is literally a calendar for appointments.
Ohne meinen Terminkalender würde ich alle meine Verabredungen vergessen.
Without my appointment calendar, I would forget all my meetings.
In everyday life, 'Terminkalender' (appointment calendar) is often used with certain verbs: you enter something 'in den Terminkalender' (in the appointment calendar), take 'einen Blick in den Terminkalender' (a look at the appointment calendar), or look 'in den Terminkalender' (at the appointment calendar).
Können Sie den Termin bitte in meinen Terminkalender eintragen?
Could you please enter the appointment in my appointment calendar?
The phrase 'einen vollen Terminkalender haben' means that you are very busy and have no time. It is often used as a polite explanation or refusal.
Ich würde gerne kommen, aber ich habe leider einen vollen Terminkalender diese Woche.
I would love to come, but unfortunately I have a full appointment calendar this week.
agenda
Agenda and Terminkalender can both refer to a calendar for personal appointments. Agenda is used particularly in this sense in Swiss German; Terminkalender is generally understood and clearly refers to a book or digital application for organizing appointments.
In Berlin trage ich den Arzttermin gleich in meinen Terminkalender ein.
In Berlin, I enter the doctor's appointment in my appointment calendar right away.
In Zürich trage ich den Arzttermin gleich in meine Agenda ein.
In Zurich, I enter the doctor's appointment in my planner right away.
