You misunderstand. They're already scheduled largely. This is about writing down in the books in January that I'm going to spend in March. GNUCash's summary view has a column 'future minimum' for each account that uses this data; looking at it informs you when you might go negative without corrective action. Or conversely, tells you how much money you can safely shift out of checking.
