What I usually do is to schedule the TODOs for a specific day. Then I use the weekly agenda where I can postpone the TODOs easily with S- and S-. So a move of a couple of days is easily done. You can even specify the number of days to move forward or back with e.g. C-u 5 S-. It would be fairly easy to extend the function behind S- (org-agenda-date-later) to do some date calculation (next monday, etc) with the help of the calendar routines and to bind this to some key in the agenda view. C-h f org-agenda-date-later RET should give you a lead. HTH Christian
