I generally lean on S-up and watch the changing date until it gets to
where I want it - no counting.

I wouldn't bother but I'm not you: if you really want to, you can define a trivial function

   (defun sw-one-week-bump ()
       (org-timestamp-up-day 7))

and bind it.

If you need help with the latter, see the emacs manual:

   (info "(emacs) Customizing Key Bindings")

and for the gory details, the emacs lisp manual:

   (info "(elisp) Keymaps")

PS. Not sure how much emacs you know - if any/all of this is obvious, please disregard.
