Dear all,
I'm sorry if this is a common question but I had trouble finding the right
keywords.
I am a little puzzled by the way scheduled tasks work. I will give an
example. Let's have this task:
* TODO Clean the kitchen
SCHEDULED: <2014-07-20 jeu. .+1w>
If I'm lazy and don't do it for one whole week, on 2014-07-27 I will see
this in my agenda:
Scheduled: TODO Clean the kitchen
But I would really like to see this instead:
Sched. 7x: TODO Clean the kitchen
This way I could see it's been 7 days I didn't do it, and tasks would be
better organized in the agenda. RIght now, a task that I have to do on a
weekly basis never has a number greater than '6x', and even if it hasn't
been done for months, it still appears on the bottom of the list in the
agenda, with a small number.
So is there a way to correct this? How do you proceed?
Thank you very much for your help!
Regards,
FC

Hmm, I think that is how mine does work. Sorry, everything is up to date at
the moment, but I'll let one run over and see what it looks like.

Not really.

I distinguish "repeating tasks" and "nagging tasks".
Cleaning the kitchen is typically a nagging task: not because some
people find it boring (no comment) but because you can't do the next
one before doing the previous one*... a repeating task is typically a
course at the uni: you can attend the next one without attending the
previous one, and in this case, the current behavior of Org makes
sense.
So, for nagging tasks, I simply don't use a repeater, this way the
task is always nagging me :) When it's done, I reschedule it using
C-c C-s . S-<down> for the next week. And voilà.
HTH,

« See you next time!
- Mhh.. will be difficult to see each others before this one. »

AFAICT, this is the default, which I've changed by:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; text preceding scheduled items in the agenda view
(setq org-agenda-scheduled-leaders
'("Scheduled "
" "))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Don't understand this.
Best regards,
Seb
