For items with a deadline, you can indeed add a warning time specifier, as in ,---- | ** Deadline | DEADLINE: <2009-01-15 Thu -0d> `---- Which means that the deadline warning will first show up on your agenda on the day it is due, or ,---- | ** Deadline | DEADLINE: <2009-01-15 Thu -3d> `---- Which means the warning will show up three days before the item is due. - Scheduled items first show up on the agenda on the day they are scheduled and every day thereafter until they are marked done. - Deadline warnings show up on the agenda n days before the deadline, with n specified in the variable org-deadline-warning-day or via the negative modifier in the examples above. Hope this helps, Matt
