It's funny that this topic came up on the mailing list just now -- I've been working on integrating org-mode more into my daily workflow, and am starting to put some habits in and was trying to figure out how to make the habits repeat in the way I want them to. If I have something that I want to track in terms of consistency, and want to do it during the weekdays, is there a way I could express that other then having a series of 5 habits, one for each day of the week, each one of which would repeat every week? -Mike -- Michael Steeves (steeves@raingods.net)
