I would like to slightly change my learning method this year. I have heard that spaced learning is much better than bang your head against the same material multiple times in a row. Spaced learning is simply reviewing some interesting topic at given intervals: after 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, etc... It seems to me that org-mode does not support this: how would you make a repetitive task with spaced intervals? I saw org-drill.el, but I do not think it does this. Ideally I could do something like: "" * review this interesting thing SCHEDULED: <2019-01-01 Tue> :PROPERTIES: :SPACED: :END: "" If this is not an interesting use case for org-mode, what do you think about me trying to extend org-habits.el instead? Best wishes to all the community, Andrea
