Thank you. That was the clue I needed. I hadn't made the connection between schedule repeat intervals and deadlines in habits. So I was expecting task deadlines to cover that. I suggest adding the following to item 5. in the habit documentation: A weekly report that must be filed during the following work week could be described with SCHEDULED: 2012-09-24 Mon +1w/12d. Have I understood this correctly? It works for the habits that I'm testing, but I haven't figured out the code to be sure that this covers the edge cases properly. Assuming that this is correct, perhaps the info section on dates and times should note that the habit option extends the scheduled time notation. That will catch folks who go to that section directly. Alternatively, a more radical change would be to change habits to use scheduled and deadline in the same sense that they are used elsewhere: scheduled means should start at this time, deadline means should complete at this time. That would affect all current users. Is there an extra capability that this notation adds? R Horn rjh...@alum.mit.edu

[O] Habit setup help needed
I'm trying to get some habits set up that have a regular time window during which I should do them. The habits are being created and somewhat maintained, but the habit bars are not acting the way that I expected. In the org file I have: *** HABIT [#A] Weekly GTD review [0/9] :home: DEADLINE: 2012-09-21 Fri ++1w SCHEDULED: 2012-09-17 Mon ++1w :LOGBOOK: - State DONE from HABIT [2012-09-14 Fri 09:00] ... :END: :PROPERTIES: :STYLE: habit :LOGGING: DONE(!) :END: In the agenda, I get the habit bar. The habit bar text is copied below, but colors don't copy. It's red until the asterisk. The asterisk is the completion that is logged for 14 September.
