[O] Org-mode Habit with Varying Description

[Daya Atapattu]

Is there a way to create a habit that picks-up the description from a list?

I like to schedule studying a book:  It would be scheduled as Read pages
100-125.  Then the next day it should read Read pages 126-150.  The
description of the habit varies; org-mode picks that up sequentially from a
list.

Is that possible?

Regards,

Thanks for the response, Bastien.

I guess, short of writing some elisp code, I will have to reschedule each
evening for next day.I can't schedule in advance, because I miss some
days.

 No.  Also, a habit with a varying description is not really a habit
 anymore.  You really have several recurring tasks, each is different.

 Using a daily repeater for your task should be enough.

 Also check `org-clock-mode-line-total' for more options.

[O] Use depend.el for Cyclic Triggering

[Daya Atapattu]

Hello all:

I am new to org-mode and have been trying to get the following to work.

I have:

TODO Item1
TODO Item 2
TODO Item 3
TODO Item 4

I want to schedule Item 1 for today and when I change it to DONE Item 2
should be scheduled for tomorrow.
When I set Item 2 to DONE Item 3 should be scheduled for next day and so on.

All this happens (they get scheduled for the same day, but that I can live
with)  in the first cycle.
But when all four are showing DONE it won't get any further.

I want this to go on for ever.

I tried adding .+4 to schedule and inserting :STYLE: habit as a property.
I was hoping that way the item will not get marked DONE, but just advance
the scheduled date with TODO.  But that does not happen.

So I am looking for a method to either an Item will pass on the trigger
without marking itself DONE (but advancing the scheduled date)
or
passing trigger to next sibling even if it is marked DONE and change DONE
to TODO.

Is there any way to do that with the current structure?

Thanks.
