5-88, I usually update my spreadsheet at the end of the month. I have most of my 40 stock portfolio on dividend reinvestment and so am not worried about knowing ex-dividend dates. I use ThinkorSwim platform from TDAmeritrade and it will show ex-dividend dates coming up for my watchlists. As I log onto TOS (thinkorswim) most days it is easy for me to see when I have ex-dividend dates coming up. It also shows upcoming earnings. Still working on goals for 2022.

I will have 136 dividend payments as things stand now. I have a loosely defined business plan for next year. I will focus on mid-yield (2.5% to 3.5% plus or minus), fast diviend growers (8% or higher dividend growth on a 5 year basis, plus or minus) I reserve to the right to stray from that a bit.

Re: Dividend Planning I never really look at things like number of dividend payments and ex-dividend dates. Money piles up from dividends paid and I withdraw whatever is there on Jan 1, Apr 1, Jul 1, and Oct 1. I track the total amounts year to year. My plan is to continue generating dividend growth year over year. My minimum requirement is to have 6% per year compounded annual growth measured from 2017. So far I am handily beating that, with about 9%. I also will be looking for opportunities to trim or sell stocks to fund purchases that will either grow income or income growth. Dave
