But AFAIK this is only a problem because the scheduled tasks show up in the "all currently open items" section. If scheduled items would no longer show up there then this problem would not exist, wouldn't it? > One simple way would be to create a separate file and just put those > cyclic tasks for the next two years in there. Couldn't this be done with the calendar integration of org? Ah, now that I checked the documentation I see that I can only get dates (anniversaries, etc) from calendar, but not TODO items. I guess a mechanism for periodic TODO items would have to come from org-mode as diary only knows about (periodic) events but has no concept of periodic TODO items. Christian
