Hi Rainer, Why do you not want them as TODOs? I had thought I didn't but came to believe I was over-complicating things. I have a number of daily and weekly tasks of this sort (these include your examples), and they are genuinely things I need to do :-) They have appropriate repeater cookies in the scheduled lines and it works just fine. Well enough that I've forgotten the reasons for which I resisted treating them as TODO items in the first place.
