I apologize for commenting on this issue again, but I wanted to share my solution. First, maybe my use-case is slightly different than everyone else's, but here it is: I'm looking for jobs currently, and I want a reminder to Check Monster.com every two days. But, I do not want this item to show up in my weekly agenda 3 separate times. I tried org-habit, but I do not want the red/green habit graph showing up in my agenda. It's just a personal preference. So, I set up an item like this: *** TODO Check Monster.com SCHEDULED: <2010-06-16 Wed .+2d> :PROPERTIES: :STYLE: habit :END: I tried the skip-function mentioned here, and couldn't get it to work, so I tried org-habit again, and I found that if I set org-habit-show-habits-only-for-today to not-nil and if I set org-habit-graph-column to -1 then it successfully hides the graph. So, that's my solution, and it's great for only seeing these "habits" once, and not littering up my agenda with future TODOs with these habits. I'm using Org 6.35 Hope this helps, --Nate >> >> As I understand it, the proposed patch hides items scheduled in the >> future in the weekly agenda.
