Hi Sagar,

I think you either want a repeatin= g task see http://orgmode.org/manual/Repeated-tasks.html

= or to use org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift see http://orgmode.org/manual/Structure-editing.html#Structure-editing<= /a>


I hope that helps,

I want to set aside a fixed amount of time each day (say 2 hours= ) at a specific time(18-00-20:00 say) to work on a specific task. I want th= is task to repeat for 7 days and for state changes (from TODO to DONE) to b= e tracked for those 7 days. The latter while ideal, is also optional, as in= a base case, I'd be happy to just get the task automatically marked TO= DO 7 times in my Agenda till the 7 days are over.

When I mark this as complete for today, all the other occur= rences are also marked as DONE, which I do not want. Another confusing fact= or is that instead of counting 7 occurrences of this task, Org counts it as= 8 (which is another thing I'd love to get explained)

I know tracking repeated tasks is best suited for Org-Habits but I = cannot find anywhere in the documentation for that module, a parameter that= allows me to track habits for only 7 times or 8 times say, and for that ha= bit to be inserted into the agenda at a specific time only.=C2=A0

Would really appreciate some advice!

Thanks for your time,
Sagar
