So I have: (setq org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled t) 3. on(and after when not done) THIS_DAY, show it in global todo list While, to my surprise, on THIS_DAY, the scheduled TODO doesn't show up in the todo list!! The manual (info "(org) Deadlines and scheduling") says: Important: Scheduling an item in Org mode should not be understood in the same way that we understand scheduling a meeting. Setting a date for a meeting is just a simple appointment, you should mark this entry with a simple plain time stamp, to get this item shown on the date where it applies. ... Does this mean that it will show in the calendar? I'm new to orgmode. I'm thinking of referring to TODO list most of the time. Is this a good way? Since switching between agenda and TODO list looks a bit unconvenient to me. -- William http://xwl.appspot.com
