That part I understand. Here is my habit: I type C-c Cd and then use the 
SHIFT-arrow key in the minibuffer to select the date. I see that I can type in 
one of many strings that would give me the date and time, but I was looking for 
something equally simple. Not that entering the date + time string in one 
format or another isn't also simple. 

Playing with that a bit, I just discovered that I can still select the DATE in 
that manner in the minibuffer and if I then just type in the time in place, I 
get the fully formed DATE+TIME deadline. That works. I think I was naively 
assuming there was a similar navigation shortcut for the TIME component.

Thank you!
