I would use a weekly repeater for these tasks.

I wonder why the OP uses a habit of these classes.  They'd probably
work better as just regular appointments, like this:

* Class Monday
2011-03-04 Fri +1w

Personally, I use org-habit to /hide/ a headline until the day it's
due.  I love that feature, and use it for  50% of my scheduled
things.

Well, I was actually trying to make a joke...  when I was young, we
were forced to go to class -- this was not a habit we had to take :)

[O] scheduling items question

2011-03-03 Thread stuart

Hi everyone,

What is the best solution for the following (assuming there is one). I
have a class that takes place three times per week (Monday, Wednesday,
Friday, for example). I would like to schedule this as a habit. What is
the best and particularly, most concise was of doing this?

Right now, I have three headings that are scheduled every week as
follows:

** class Monday

** class Wednesday

** class Friday







I have been using org-mode for quite a while now, but I am _using_ it
more than exploring all its features and possibilities, so please
forgive if this question has been answered.

The Worg FAQ lists a couple of methods.[1]  You can’t really get away
from using multiple headings, though, unless you write a diary
function of your own.
