I would simply use a bare time-stamp like this * Headline <2013-03-20 mer.> Use C-c . to insert the active time-stamp, or C-c ! to insert an inactive one, or use shift-up/down on the brackets to switch from active to inactive. > In general, I can't help but marvel at the ad-hoc, on-the-fly data > management possibilities org-mode offers.
