Have you looked at org-checklist.el in contrib? I wrote that to handle this kind
of thing.

Make sure org-checklist.el is in your load path, and add
(require 'org-checklist)
 to your .emacs. You can then set up your daily task like so:

,----[ test.org ]
| * TODO test
|   SCHEDULED: <2009-01-29 Thu + 1d>
|   :PROPERTIES:
|   :RESET_CHECKBOXES: t
|   :END:
|   - [ ] Task 1
|   - [ ] Task 2
|   - [ ] Task 3
`----

and when you mark it done all the checkboxes will be cleared.

James
