Hi,

I'm trying to take full advantage of scheduling, deadlines and timestamps for 
my TODO lists.  It's easy to add deadlines and schedule times via `C-c C-s` and 
`C-c C-d`. However,  if I want to set a time for a meeting, I should be using a 
regular timestamp, rather than a SCHEDULE: property. There doesn't seem to be a 
way to do this automatically.

I know I can enter a timestamp with `C-c .`, but that just inserts it at point, 
regardless of where point is with respect to the headline, logbook, property 
drawers etc. Is there a function I could use to do the equivalent of `C-c C-s`, 
i.e., jump back to the headline, move past any property drawers, and insert a 
timestamp at the beginning of a line, and then return me to where I started?

I looked at `org--deadline-or-schedule`, but there's a lot going on in there,  
and my naive hacking quickly broke it.

Not quite sure if I understand your question but it seems as if you want 
to "SCHEDULE" a meeting for a date and time using C-c C-s


Using that key combination after a TODO I usually enter the date then a 
space then the time. Also you may enter a duration such as 08:00+2


HTH.
