schedule
An overview or calendar in which all planned appointments, meetings, and arrangements for a specific period are entered.
Mein Terminplan für nächste Woche ist schon komplett voll.
My schedule for next week is already completely full.
This word is made up directly of 'der Termin' (appointment) and 'der Plan' (plan). So it literally means a 'plan for appointments'.
Ohne meinen digitalen Terminplan wäre ich völlig verloren.
Without my digital schedule, I would be completely lost.
A 'Terminplan' is often described with adjectives like 'voll' (full), 'eng' (tight), or 'flexibel' (flexible). Typical verbs are 'einen Terminplan erstellen' (to create a schedule), 'Termine eintragen' (to enter appointments), or 'in den Terminplan schauen' (to look at the schedule).
Wegen meines vollen Terminplans habe ich erst nächste Woche Zeit.
Because of my full schedule, I won't have time until next week.
When looking for information, you look 'in den Terminplan' (into the schedule; accusative). When an appointment has already been noted, it is 'im Terminplan' (in the schedule; dative).
Ich muss kurz in meinen Terminplan schauen, ob ich da Zeit habe.
I need to quickly look at my schedule to see whether I have time then.
schedule
Zeitplan and Terminplan both organize future times. Zeitplan generally shows when tasks will be completed or events will take place; Terminplan mainly lists agreed appointments, meetings, and arrangements. Use Zeitplan for processes and deadlines, and Terminplan for fixed meetings.
