Hi Rainer,

Why do you not want them as TODOs? I had thought I didn't but came to
believe I was over-complicating things.

I have a number of daily and weekly tasks of this sort (these include your
examples), and they are genuinely things I need to do :-) They have
appropriate repeater cookies in the scheduled lines and it works just fine.
Well enough that I've forgotten the reasons for which I resisted treating
them as TODO items in the first place.

Best,

Brian vdB
