Not really. > How do you proceed? I distinguish "repeating tasks" and "nagging tasks". Cleaning the kitchen is typically a nagging task: not because some people find it boring (no comment) but because you can't do the next one before doing the previous one*... a repeating task is typically a course at the uni: you can attend the next one without attending the previous one, and in this case, the current behavior of Org makes sense. So, for nagging tasks, I simply don't use a repeater, this way the task is always nagging me :) When it's done, I reschedule it using C-c C-s . S- for the next week. And voilą. HTH, * A joke of a good friend of mine: « See you next time! - Mhh.. will be difficult to see each others before this one. » -- Bastien
