Karl Voit has published an instructive post on how to specify recurring events in Org mode. As most of you know, you can annotate an Org TODO entry to specify that it should occur every day, every week, every 3rd day and other more complex criteria.
Even if you’re familiar with the above, Voit has an alternative method that I wasn’t aware of. That method is org-clone-subtree-with-timeshift that will duplicate the current entry but apply different time stamps. This has some benefits over the more common method. In the first place, if you have a meeting on Tuesday for the next 5 weeks, you can make the first TODO entry and then call org-clone-subtree-with-timeshift with a repeat of 4 and a timeshift of 1w. That gives you the exact number of entries and can edit or delete one or more as necessary. Another benefit is that you can add notes to each entry separately rather than having everything together in a single entry.
Take a look at Voit’s post for the details and more advantages of this method. It’s also a nice summary of how you can specify dates and times whether or not they’re recurring.
