Just create the task the way you like it (with a schedule and a deadline) for the first day and then call 'M-x org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift'. Org-mode will ask you the number of clones it should create and the time shift. Just specify the time shift as '1d' and you are done. -- Darlan At Tue, 12 Mar 2013 11:06:30 -0400, Rick Hanson wrote: > > [1 ] > Hi everyone, > > I've already RTFMed for this, but I still don't see how to do the following. > > Fact: I can add a repeater to a time stamp (like "+1d") in org-mode so that > a task shows up in my agenda as an every day item. > > Question: Can I restrict this repetition to, say, 1 week? > > For instance, I have a task I have to perform every day this week, /but > only for this week/.
