Imagine I have a single project or task which I know will require
several sessions to complete. Before I get to the stage of analysing
it closely and breaking it down into sub-tasks, it would be good to
reserve some diary time in advance, so that I don't accidentally
accept other commitments for that time and overstretch myself.
However, this is different from booking a normal diary appointment, in
the sense that I am not making a commitment to other people to be in a
particular place at a particular time: the commitment is only to
myself and is directly associated with a particular project or task.
Therefore it sounds like it would be useful to be able to schedule the
same task for multiple slots. It turns out that the org-agenda code
already handles this beautifully; if you do:
* Long task/project not yet broken down into sub-tasks
SCHEDULED: <2008-01-07 Mon>
SCHEDULED: <2008-01-08 Tue>
and it appears in both places in an agenda view, and you can jump back
to the item in the normal way. The only downside is that C-c C-s
doesn't currently support entering it:
(org-schedule &optional REMOVE)
Insert the SCHEDULED: string with a timestamp to schedule a TODO
item.
With argument REMOVE, remove any scheduling date from the item.
How about doing the usual trick of comparing different prefix argument
values (e.g. 4 vs. 16) to allow adding a new scheduled slot?
This could be done of course - but I am not sure how common your use
case is.
And I quess it is nearly as easy to got to the entry and type
`SCHDEULED: C-c .'
for the few cases where you need it?
If I nt forward to implement this, should the extra SCHEDULED stamp
be in the same second line of the entry, or in an extra line? Any
other votes on this issue?
