I just mark them as done and they're automatically rescheduled. No scheduler multiplier shows up as long as I stay on top of marking the items as done. I didn't realize notes with an active timestamp would be included in the agenda. It makes sense, and nowhere in the manual mentioned a note having to have a TODO keyword to show up... I just sort of imposed the structure on my file. I think I'll drop the TODO keywords from these sorts of items. My question is, will headings with TODO keywords and an active timestamp show up, even /without/ scheduling? (And I realized I could easily answer my own question. Posting here for posterity.) The answer is yes. But if one is going to all the trouble of a TODO keyword (which enables nifty features like logging, so I can tell when a class was cancelled by using "DEFER" instead of "DONE"), one might as well use scheduling, too. Only if you don't want to keep track of marking items as done should one drop scheduling and keywords.
