I am trying to configure a daily agenda grid view like shown below, but for some reason it keeps showing 3 days in the past instead of the current date (at the time of posting this, it is Saturday, 16 January).

Wednesday    13 January 2021

 Today
               6:00...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
               8:00...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
              10:00...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
              12:00...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
              14:00...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
              16:00...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  personal:   16:12...... Closed:     DONE Clean litter box
              18:00...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
              20:00...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  wgu:        22:00...... Deadline:   DONE Recreate virtual lab environment because I am a dumbass.
              22:00...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Interestingly, when I open the calendar it defaults to the wrong date, but it does show "today" as having the correct date. See the bottom of this picture: image here

Creating a new journal entry also uses the correct date.

I'm not really sure why I can't get my agenda grid to show today's date.

My config is as follows:

(use-package! org-super-agenda
  :hook (after-init . org-super-agenda-mode)
  :config
  (setq org-agenda-time-grid (quote ((daily today) (600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000 2200) "......" "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"))

  • Do you have items in your agenda for today's date?

  • I do, yes. I have at least one item scheduled each day.

  • Long shot, I know, but does your computer know the correct date? If you execute date on the command line, does it show today's date?

  • If you remove org-super-agenda does it show correctly?

  • Yes, date shows the correct date on my system. No, removing org-super-agenda does not change anything. The day span still shows the date as three days behind (Friday, when today is now Monday).

Late to the party but I had the same issue and solved it following the configuration here. The trick is to specify the agenda starting day by adding org-agenda-start-day to your initial configuration, like so :

(use-package! org-super-agenda
    ;; ...
    :config
    (setq org-agenda-start-day nil  ; today
          ;; ...
    ))
