It's been a couple of days so I'll try restate this question more clearly. I'm hoping it's possible to do something like this:
* Week one (<2014-09-09>) * Week two (EVALUATE A LISP EXPRESSION THAT INSERTS A TIMESTAMP ONE WEEK LATER THAN LAST TIMESTAMP FOUND IN BUFFER) I don't have much experience with babel so I'm not sure how to do this, but if it's possible I would love some hints.
