However, I don=E2=80=99t know how to use this for repeating tasks or habits. That is, I want to work on a given task every day for less than N minutes and be warned when going beyond this amount. Of course, using the Effort property will warn me the first time, but will be useless after that, unless I delete the clocked time at the beginning of each new session. Is there a way to do that properly? Thanks in advance for your help. G. --=20
