Doesn’t that mean that it won’t show up in the agenda view? I do not need the agenda to tell me every day what semester I am in. When I need this information in the agenda view, I just press "[" to show inactive timestamps, too. > How are you handling examens? Examens are appointments, which go into the "general information" subtree for the semester, get a TODO keyword and a DEADLINE to remind me to start the preparations early enough. > But there are some still things that don’t fit together e.g. that > classes (teoría) show up on vacations… I mostly avoid this problem as a side effect of having a subtree for each week; for weeks in which there are no classes, there will simply be no subtree present. Because I need a subtree for each occurence of a lecture anyway (to link to related information and store (links to) my class notes), that does not create additional overhead for me. I face this problem with weekly exercises; because I usually do not take notes then, there are no separate subtrees for these. (If I do take notes, they go to the appropriate Homework subtree.) I do not use org-mode to remind me of these at all, as I have my schedule committed to memory by now. (I do have the schedule in an .org-file for reference.)
