 I've been using org-mode for four months now and I just love it.  So I
 think I'm post-newb but still very amateur.

 Anyway, my to-do list has several repeating scheduled items like this
 contrived example:

 * TODO [#B] Lunch date with Sarah at 12pm
  SCHEDULED: 2009-12-08 Tue +1w

 Or, in English, I meet with Sarah for lunch once a week on Tuesdays.

 Now, let's say that Sarah calls on Monday afternoon and says, Can we
 do lunch on Wednesday this week? and I say Sure thing.

 Now I have a problem.  I could shift the date to Wednesday like this:

 * TODO [#B] Lunch date with Sarah at 12pm
  SCHEDULED: 2009-12-09 Wed +1w

 But that will mean that the following week it will *still* be
 scheduled for Wednesdays (specifically Dec 16 instead of Dec 15).  I
 miss my regular lunch date with Sarah and catch ire for standing her
 up.

 How do I handle situations like this? 

 It seems like I either need a time stamp stack or I need a temporary
 flag that self destructs after a prescribed time.

 :AMN:

I would probably clone the entry once and set it for Wednesday and let
the weekly repeater continue for next Tuesday.

HTH,
Bernt

This is what I have been doing...but it's not very elegant and 
potentially confusing when I encounter it later.  It also throws off my 
time management numbers.


Can anyone supply a better solution?
