What I want is that if I look at my list of things to do, and I’ve already swept the floor and marked it as done, it shouldn’t bother me anymore for the day, but pop up the next day. And if I’ve swept the floor, I’ll be presented with the opportunity to also mop the floor, if it’s been a week since last time. (And I don’t want to mop an unswept floor. And I don’t need to mop every time I sweep.)
This is what I have now. I’m using GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2010-12-11 on brahms, modified by Debian and the version of org-mode that came with it. * TODO mop the floor :home: SCHEDULED: <2011-11-01 Tue .+1w> ** TODO sweep the floor SCHEDULED: <2011-11-01 Tue .+1d> I have a custom agenda search that hides future items. For example, expressions like ("hh" tags-todo "home+SCHEDULED=\"\"|SCHEDULED<=\"<today>\"") deep inside org-agenda-custom-commands. I have custom-set '(org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks (quote invisible)) '(org-enforce-todo-dependencies t) The problem is that “sweep the floor” never gets marked done since it has a repeater, so “mop the floor” never becomes visible. Can I fix this problem, or can I get the desired behavior some other way? Thank you, Sandra PS “mop the floor” and “sweep the floor” are just examples and so are the specific intervals. I have many different repeating and depending tasks that work like this.
