C-h v org-todo-repeat-to-state RET says: ,---- | The TODO state to which a repeater should return the repeating task. | By default this is the first task in a TODO sequence, or the previous state | in a TODO_TYP set. But you can specify another task here. | alternatively, set the :REPEAT_TO_STATE: property of the entry. `---- so setting the property of the entry might be better. Personally, I have my appointments in a separate file with its own TODO sequence: #+TODO: APPT | DONE Nick
