How can I schedule my todo's more roughly? Say, I know I want to do it next
week or in a few months but I don't know the exact date nor time to do it.
I just want a way to plan more foresighted. If the week starts or the month
I could always set a more accurate timestamp then. Any idea? I tried to
remove the day number in a timestamp but this would destroy the timestamp.

I don't think there's anything built-in that will do this -- I'd
recommend just rescheduling everything to Monday morning next week, and
then do finer-grained rescheduling on the Monday.
You might be amused to try the "random scatter" rescheduling option:
mark the relevant todos, "B" for bulk action, then "S" to shotgun them
over the next N days.

Take a look at habits. It has something similar IE you can set a due date
for a habit to be completed for say at least 3 days, but not more than 5
days.
Not exactly what you are looking for but might be adaptable.

I tried the random scatter. This is a really good method for
procrastination! I ended up with the method you said. I schedule those
things now on the beginning of the week or month (or year?) and maybe add a
special tag or todo keyword.
The habits method looks nice! I dont know if I can tweak the visibility of
those tasks in my agenda? I dont want to display those tasks on my agenda
so I would need to filter them out using its own keyword?
