Important: Scheduling an item in Org mode should not be understood in
the same way that we understand scheduling a meeting. Setting a date
for a meeting is just a simple appointment, you should mark this entry
with a simple plain timestamp, to get this item shown on the date
where it applies. This is a frequent misunderstanding by Org users. In
Org mode, scheduling means setting a date when you want to start
working on an action item.
