orgmode assumes scheduled/deadline time from headline

[ghost]

I use org-journal mostly as my first point when I need to write down something out of my mind. So I don't need to care about first, I can always refile the stuff later. A lot of my entries I make over the day are TODO items:

* Monday, 13. Jul 2015

** 08:15 some thoughts...
** TODO 10:23 something i have todo
SCHEDULED: <2015-07-17 Fri>

Now all of them start with a time which is exactly what I want but when I take a look in my agenda, this time is used as the timestamp for scheduled. Same happens, if I would define a deadline before.

Friday 17 July 2015
JOURNAL:        10:23......... Scheduled: TODO something i have todo

I don't like this behaviour, because this is wrong. Just because I started a journal entry on 10:23 and scheduled the task some days later, doesn't mean this is the time I'm gonna work on this task. I schedule a lot of tasks this way, without an exact time, this is just how my workflow looks. I don't need always a time for my tasks. The only workaround so far is, to remove the timestamp from the beginning of the journal entry or define a timestamp for the scheduled/deadline date as well.

Idk, maybe this is the default behaviour how orgmode works or is there something wrong with org-journal? Thanks for help! 😽

I believe that org-journal has nothing to do with this. Org-journal does not change how the file is interpreted. It merely writes a few headlines and defines a few keyboard shortcuts.

I always thought the TODO keyword has to be the first word on the headline for it to be marked as a to do item?

I guess orgmode assumes the time in the headline as scheduled time. Did you never make a todo item in your journal files? Do you know how I can prevent this behaviour?

Yes, the TODO item is always the first, it is only wrong in the example above.

I use timed items for things I did, and TODOs for things I am planning to do, so there is typically no overlap. No idea how to prevent this behavior, sorry. But I would suggest asking on the org-mode mailing list or emacs.stackexchange.com.
