For probably a couple of decades now, I've wanted some planning software where I input goals, utilities, activities, and results, and the software plans my day, makes suggestions, tracks progress on those goals, and charts overall utility.

What's out there like this?

tracks progress on those goals, and charts overall utility.

I don't think it works very well for what you are envisioning, but something like spaced repetition software might help.

With SRS, the idea is that the software tries to figure out when you are going to forget something and prompts you at that time, when the reminder will be most effective.
