Perhaps this is primitive and hackish, but I have the same
issue, especially with my "habits" like daily guitar practice
and language study. In my case these live in my "todo.org"
file.

When there is something I need to "fix" as you describe, I
just edit the properties (or content) in the entry in the
underlying file. This is very unsophisticated and can be a bit
error-prone, but it's straightforward and it works.
