three repeated mode in Emacs orgMode
Pre
In Emacs org mode, we usually organize routine tasks using repeated keyword in schedule, and there are three of them.
+
this is the most basic one.
assuming we have this, and today is 2023-10-16
1 | SCHEDULED: <2023-09-23 Sat +1w> |
marking this done will update this SCHEDULED date to
1 | SCHEDULED: <2023-09-30 Sat +1w> |
.+
compared to the previous one, the difference is the next SCHEDULED date will also be added one week, but based on today. so the result will be
1 | SCHEDULED: <2023-10-23 Mon +.1w> |
++
for the last one, it will add at least one day, and will repeat it as many time as possible to make update this SCHEDULED date into the future.
1 | SCHEDULED: <2023-10-21 Sat ++1w> |
