Re: [Orgmode] Re: Recurring scheduled items appearing in schedule

[Jeff Horn]

I used scheduling to put all such items in my agenda, and I also
tagged them as todo's or appointments. I just mark them as done and
they're automatically rescheduled. No scheduler multiplier shows up as
long as I stay on top of marking the items as done.

I didn't realize notes with an active timestamp would be included in
the agenda. It makes sense, and nowhere in the manual mentioned a note
having to have a TODO keyword to show up... I just sort of imposed the
structure on my file.

I think I'll drop the TODO keywords from these sorts of items.

My question is, will headings with TODO keywords and an active
timestamp show up, even /without/ scheduling?

(And I realized I could easily answer my own question. Posting here
for posterity.)

The answer is yes. But if one is going to all the trouble of a TODO
keyword (which enables nifty features like logging, so I can tell when
a class was cancelled by using "DEFER" instead of "DONE"), one might
as well use scheduling, too. Only if you don't want to keep track of
marking items as done should one drop scheduling and keywords.
