Tassilo, The root item is in fact a TODO item with a scheduled date, I have just been using checkboxes as children of the root TODO item for tracking the individual work items related to the TODO. So for example: * TODO Prepare for trip [ ] pack clothes [ ] print boarding tickets [ ] turn on alarm I suppose could swap out the checkboxes for two stars instead, I was just asking.
