For plain old events (birthdays, doctors appointments, etc), it's often best just to use a regular old timestamp, so: * Rehearsal <2014-07-28 Mon> Or you can put the timestamp on the line below the headline.

[O] beginner agenda question
Simple question, I think, but it has me stumped. I'm wondering what variable controls the org-agenda function that gives you upcoming events, a la: todo: In 2 d.: TODO Friend's Birthday todo: In 4 d.: TODO Rehearsal todo: In 4 d.: TODO Happy Hour todo: In 9 d.: TODO Some other thing I'd like to get rid of all of that, actually. For me, it clutters things up too much. Thank you! steven
