Now I can see that I already worked on a task even if I reschedule it and don't see the "Sched. 2x" mention. But I still have to manually reschedule the task to the next week, which is what I *really* want to avoid, even at the price of not seeing what I already did either in the form of clocking time or with the "Sched. 2x" mention (maybe this wasn't clear in my first message). I will try to write something with my very poor level of emacs-lisp. My reasoning would be something like: "if a task that has this particular property was scheduled for being done x days ago (with x > 0), and if it is not marked DONE, then reschedule it (7 - x) days later". I could maybe include a comment saying that this task was automatically rescheduled, with a timestamp. I just hope I'm not reinventing the wheel somewhere in that process.

Dear S=E9bastien,

Thank = you for your answer, it is useful. Now I can see that I already worked on a= task even if I reschedule it and don't see the "Sched. 2x" m= ention. But I still have to manually reschedule the task to the next week, = which is what I *really* want to avoid, even at the price of not seeing wha= t I already did either in the form of clocking time or with the "Sched= . 2x" mention (maybe this wasn't clear in my first message).

I will try to write something with my very poor level of emacs-lisp. My= reasoning would be something like: "if a task that has this particula= r property was scheduled for being done x days ago (with x > 0), and if = it is not marked DONE, then reschedule it (7 - x) days later". I could= maybe include a comment saying that this task was automatically reschedule= d, with a timestamp. I just hope I'm not reinventing the wheel somewher= e in that process.

Best regards

This hasn't been answered yet, neither is it a common reque= st.

FWIW, I removed such scheduling info (2x, 3x...) because it scared me to he= ll
when it went over 99 days delay.

But, to answer you, no, I don't think it's doable in the current sy= stem.
Though, you could get more or less the same functionality by clocking time,=
rescheduling your task for the available Sunday, and clock again. On that d= ay,
you would see that you're clocking hours 8 to 15 of your work.

Best regards,
=A0 Seb
