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? > It probably shouldn't even be a TODO.

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. > There are a host of variables [...] Check out variables starting > org-agenda-skip-*, org-agenda-ignore-*, org-agenda-include-*, > org-deadline-*, org-scheduled-* [...] Hope that helps, Undoubtedly :-).
