Hello!
I have one modest question to ask:
Is there a way in Org-mode to schedule a task so it appears the last workday
(i.e. not Saturday or Sunday) of the month, each month?
Best Regards
Gustav Wikström

Yes, with a sexp diary entry
** a task
SCHEDULED: <%%(diary-float [some-function])>
To find how [some-function] could be written,
you can be inspired by the one in Emacs manual:
38.15.9 Sexp Entries and the Fancy Diary Display
Suppose you get paid on the 21st of the month if it is a weekday, and
on the Friday before if the 21st is on a weekend. Here is how to write
a sexp diary entry that matches those dates:
&%%(let ((dayname (calendar-day-of-week date))
(day (cadr date)))
(or (and (= day 21) (memq dayname '(1 2 3 4 5)))
(and (memq day '(19 20)) (= dayname 5)))
) Pay check deposited
