org-mode timestamps

How to use timestamps in org-mode

You just go:

C-c .

and then either just press [RETURN] to insert the current date, or enter another date.

Very sweet.


(I use this now when I create a TODO item so that I know when I
created it. I don't use it to set deadlines, which are always a pain
to manage, but instead to know when it was created, which is handy for
when my professor comes by and wants to chat about things to work on,
we can then see when we talked about adding that feature.)
