I have read that page many times and I understand what the term "SCHEDULE" means in org-mode. However, this is not what my question is about. My question relates to advance warning that an item is scheduled in the future. I want to know on Friday that I have scheduled a large project to start on Monday. That is, I would like to know beforehand that I need to start working on a large project in a few days time. Aside: Awesome! The spam-prevention Captcha graphic for this post is the word "scheduled" :)
