How do I get it quickly rescheduled then, when it is a regular activity?
I find fairly convenient using "t d" to push an activity at its next
slot in the future.  Could I do something equivalent with mere time
stamps?

There are many Org commands able to find, display and otherwise handle
TODOs.  If I stop using such keywords, wouldn't I give up the tools?
Maybe there are ways to reformulate them all using other commands, but
at fist, it would require some searching, and acquiring new habits,
presuming that there are alternative ways for all such tools.

Undoubtedly :-).  Thanks!
