,----[ (info "(org)Deadlines and scheduling") ]
| SCHEDULED
|      Meaning: you are planning to start working on that task on the
|      given date.
| 
|      The headline will be listed under the given date(1).  In addition,
|      a reminder that the scheduled date has passed will be present in
|      the compilation for _today_, until the entry is marked DONE.
|      I.e., the task will automatically be forwarded until completed.
| 
|           *** TODO Call Trillian for a date on New Years Eve.
|               SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat>
| 
|      Important: Scheduling an item in Org mode should not be understood
|      in the same way that we understand scheduling a meeting.  Setting
|      a date for a meeting is just a simple appointment, you should mark
|      this entry with a simple plain time stamp, to get this item shown
|      on the date where it applies.  This is a frequent
|      mis-understanding from Org-users.  In Org mode, scheduling means
|      setting a date when you want to start working on an action item.
