Hello!
I have a few tasks marked as `:STYLE: habit`. And I relatively often
finish one of those daily habits after midnight.
Yet, I'd like to count it as having been finished the day before, so
that day switch time happens while I sleep.
I do understand that the best fix to this problem would be to fix my
sleep schedule and to go to sleep before midnight, but, assuming I can't
fix this up, do you know if there is a workaround to either:
* Make org-mode consider the day to switch at something like 4am
* Automatically close a task as though it was the day before, 23:59
Currently my workaround is to close the task then manually fixup the
`SCHEDULED`, `:LAST_REPEAT:` and `:LOGBOOK:` lines to set them to the
day before, 23:59, but it's being… quite painful.
Anyway, thank you for org-mode, that allows me to be mildly annoyed at
things I wouldn't even have considered might become an issue someday
with programs I used before!
Cheers,
Leo

You do realize you are not the first one to have that problem, don't
you? Have you seen `org-agenda-todo-yesterday'?
;-)
Notice, however, that IMHO this is only a dirty hack. A real solution
to the same problem, as you have noticed, is something that
I implemented a few years ago, and that was a radical change of my
sleeping patterns. Now I seldom go to bed after 22:30, and usually get
up before 5:30. This has too many advantages to list them in a short
email. :-) (Of course, I am aware not everyone can pull this off, also
for objective reasons. My sister is a nurse, for example.)

Not sure whether this is a compliment, but I like it:-).

Maybe the variable 'org-extend-today-until' can help.

Thank you! Sounds like it'll combo nicely with `org-extend-today-until`
pointed out by Uwe, to slowly make checking tasks the day before less
and less convenient and push the sleep schedule the right way.

It's definitely meant to be! :)
