Hi,

I have a simple question, yet couldn't find an equally simple answer to
it. Namely, if I set a repeated task (everyday, say), the agenda
shows this tasks _for all days_, even in the past.

How can I mark a repeated task DONE if it is completed for a given day,
while keeping it as TODO for the future?

Kind regards,

Tomasz Piotrowski

This is what works for me, the last_repeat property seams to enable the
behaviour you describe, the logbook is something extra I vaguely
remember setting up:

* TODO Put recycle bin out
 SCHEDULED: <2016-01-28 Thu +2w>
:PROPERTIES:
:LAST_REPEAT: [2016-01-16 Sat 13:10]
:END:
:LOGBOOK:
- State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2016-01-16 Sat 13:10]
- State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2016-01-02 Sat 17:41]
- State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2015-12-21 Mon 16:22]
:END:

And see also the variable org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all.
(Having read the available help, don't quite understand way it working
for me...)

Hi Myles,

Thanks a lot for your help. I also do not quite understand the way it
works, and I hope there must be a simpler way to mark previous occurrences
as "DONE", while those in the future as "TO DO", for a given reccurring
event.

If something else is available, please advise.

Kind regards,

Tomasz
