Which TODO list are you referring to? 1) The todos on your scheduled agenda (C-c a a)? 2) The list of all your todos (C-c a t)? If #1, then you can change the amount of lead time for the agenda with the following: --8<---cut here---start->8--- ** TODO Do weekly task DEADLINE: <2009-06-03 Wed +1w -3d> --8<---cut here---end--->8--- This will cause the todo item to show up on your agenda no sooner than three days before it is due. If #2, you might want to check the following variables: org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date These will keep items with deadlines out of your general TODO list. You can set these globally or use them as local variables in custom agenda commands. Regards, Matt ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

I have some tasks that must be done each week, it does not matter when I complete them, but they must be done before end of the week. And when the next week comes the task should be repeated. Now I have an TODO item on it and I flip it back and forth from TODO to DONE, but it requires me to remember that I have completed the task, and requires me to put it back to TODO next week. This is not working very well. What I would like: At the beginning of each week the task sets itself to TODO. When I complete it, it logs the state change (only for this state, I do not want state change logging on all). A reminder that I did not complete it last week would be nice, but I expect that to be too much to ask for. You can add a deadline that repeats every week for the task. ** TODO Do weekly task DEADLINE: <2009-06-03 Wed +1w> Cheers, Chris Yes this does almost do the trick, but with one annoying feature. It changes the state back to TODO immediatly after it is done so it still shows up in my agenda as a TODO item. So it looks for me like I never have done my repeating items, and I have to check the date to be sure. But it is perhaps difficult to make it change state later on? It could be fixed with a more advanced custom agenda command i guess. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

And with :LOGGING: property set, notes will be prompted for when state changes to DONE. ** TODO Do weekly task DEADLINE: <2009-08-12 Wed +1w> :PROPERTIES: :LOGGING: DONE(@) :END: See: (info "(org) Tracking TODO state changes") -- Mikael Fornius ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
