I know I'm bumping a thread from 5 years ago :)

I think what the OP wanted (and what lead me to this thread) is an advanced
warning for *scheduled* items. For example, I'd like to know on the Friday
before that I have a scheduled item starting on the Monday. To do this I
SCHEDULE the item to Monday and then also set a DEADLINE for Monday, which will
obviously warn be in advance. I'm not unhappy with this solution, but I was
wondering if there were an alternative.
