I didn't know that you could add two scheduled dates to a task! Unfortunately, org-mode doesn't handle the dual schedule the way I would wish. For example if I have: * TODO [#B] Verify login to the virtual machines SCHEDULED: <2013-01-24 Thu> SCHEDULED: <2013-01-29 Tue +1w> and I mark the item as done via agenda mode (by hitting 't') it changes to this: * TODO [#B] Verify login to the virtual machines SCHEDULED: <2013-01-24 Thu> SCHEDULED: <2013-02-05 Tue +1w> Thus it not only doesn't appear from my to-do list but it skips a rescheduled event that I don't want to have skipped. Am I doing it wrong? Even if this is the best org-mode can do at the moment, it's a better solution than what I have been doing.
