Are there any programs I can use for this:

Would I be able to program something like open safari at a certain time and search something. Simple things like that.... (I'm on Mac OSX 10.9.1)

You can program whatever you want, as long as you are committed ;)

but how??

Personally I would do something like this with Applescript (presuming your on Mac). Have a look into Apple script and do some research and you will find this to be very simple to make.

Check out the Automator application on your mac - it lets you put together related tasks. The Automator Help menu has examples and tutorials to get your started.

Are there any tutorials on this site or other sites you know of?
