One approach is to consider that "thinking about a large project about to start" is itself a task so you could look at adding a task for the Friday, when you first scheduled the large task for the Monday, to tell you start thinking... This might sound silly but it can actually be quite useful if you get into the habit of thinking about such aspects when you schedule tasks. And, of course, you can group related tasks like these as subheadings under a common headline. Something to think about over the weekend ;-) -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.1.50.1 : using Org release_7.8.10-630-g4144c5.dirty
