Where do the urgent things go ?

This is an implementation-dependent issue. I use software that supports multiple choices: calendar, todo with due date, todo flagged as important. All of these would ensure I saw the next action tomorrow. I would probably flag it if I wanted to do it tomorrow but it could slip a little.

So on the calendar for 9.00 am Monday is the correct solution for me. I was just being a bit wary of putting non-appointments on the calendar.

For some reason this is one of those GTD things that a lot of people don't pick up on immediately.

Three things go on your calendar:
* time-specific actions;
* day-specific actions; and
* day-specific information.

The third item there is the one people seem to miss. "Monday 9am -- orthodontist opens - [phone number]" is perfectly fine as day-specific information. Fits on the calendar just as well as "Labour Day" does.
