Hi,
since I started using Org I collected a bunch of notes in a journal file and I’d like to review them on a regular schedule. Ideally, I’d like to mark a given entry with a review timestamp so I can skip it the next I review the journal file and then use a sparse tree to see only the notes that I haven’t reviewed in a while.
The problem is that I can’t get a sparse tree using these timestamps because it works only with deadlines and schedules. Does anybody know how to work around this limitation, short of using a regexp?
Thank you in advance

Well my suggestions is with using regexps, not what you asked. In any
org buffer look at this variable:
org-deadline-time-regexp is a variable defined in `org.el'.
Its value is "\\<DEADLINE: *<\\([^>]+\\)>"
Local in buffer notes.org; global value is nil
Automatically becomes buffer-local when set in any fashion.
Documentation:
Matches the DEADLINE keyword together with a time stamp.
Now you could put your time stamps with a special tag, say "LAST:".
You can choose to add it as keyword and fontify with the same face as
DEADLINE, org-special-keyword-face. Then you can write your own defun
using org-sparse-tree and a regex based on the above which uses the
LAST: keyword to find the time stamps just like DEADLINEs. Does that
work for you?

I didn’t think about using custom functions but it should work.
Thank you a lot.

You can use tags/property matches for this.
For all inactive timestamps more than two weeks in the past:
C-c / m TIMESTAMP_IA<"<-2w>"
The same for all active timestamps:
C-c / m TIMESTAMP<"<-2w>"
For inactive timestamps, more than one week old and less than two weeks
old:
C-c / m TIMESTAMP_IA<"<-1w>"+TIMESTAMP_IA>"<-2w>"
For today's timestamps:
C-c / m TIMESTAMP="<today>"
And so on...
Please see the following for more details:

Best,
Matt
