Hello all:

I am new to org-mode and have been trying to get the following to work.

I have:

TODO Item1
TODO Item 2
TODO Item 3
TODO Item 4

I want to schedule Item 1 for today and when I change it to DONE Item 2
should be scheduled for tomorrow.
When I set Item 2 to DONE Item 3 should be scheduled for next day and so on.

All this happens (they get scheduled for the same day, but that I can live
with)  in the first cycle.
But when all four are showing DONE it won't get any further.

I want this to go on for ever.

I tried adding .+4 to schedule and inserting :STYLE: habit as a property.
I was hoping that way the item will not get marked DONE, but just advance
the scheduled date with TODO.  But that does not happen.

So I am looking for a method to either an Item will pass on the trigger
without marking itself "DONE" (but advancing the scheduled date)
or
passing trigger to next sibling even if it is marked "DONE" and change DONE
to TODO.

Is there any way to do that with the current structure?

Thanks.

- Daya
