handling cyclic tasks (general question)

[Stuart McLean <makhector@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Following is an example of the setup I currently have. What I am
interested in is how other members of the group might more elegantly
(or just differently) handle something similar.

* 2007
** January
...
** October
** November

each date has the following within it, example:

** November
** 2007-11-01
*** Todo
    :PROPERTIES:
    :CATEGORY: todo
    :END:
**** TODO something
**** TODO something else
*** Work
    :PROPERTIES:
    :CATEGORY: work
    :END:
**** Work I did <2007-11-01 Thu 08:00>--<2007-11-01 Thu 16:00>
     1. work A
     2. work B 
     3. etc
*** Exercise
    :PROPERTIES:
    :CATEGORY: exercise
    :END:
**** exercise that I did


Now, at the end of each month, e.g 2007-11-30, I have a heading on the
same level called Cyclic Todo. These contain things that I need to do
everyday, and need to remember to do everyday. I end each with a
closing note when I do them. The thing is some of the details that I
wish to record in the closing note are long and would clutter up the
heading, so I add a hyperlink back to the date (e.g 2007-11-01) and
record the info there under the proper category (usually Exercise, but
you can generalize from there, it could be applied to something else.)

What I would like to know, are there more elegant solutions for accomplishing this? Is anyone willing to share their particular setup, or examples of variations. I find my current setup a little cumbersome.

Thanks, and sorry for the long post.
