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.
