org-mode: Schedule a task multiple times

Tags:

org-mode

Suppose I plan to meet with someone multiple times, but not on a regular schedule that would allow me to set it as a repeating task. I can type in something like

** TODO Meeting with Gus
   SCHEDULED: <2014-04-25 FRI 10:00-10:30>
   SCHEDULED: <2014-04-28 MON 15:30-16:00>

Scheduling the first meeting using C-c C-s (org-schedule) is easy enough. I cannot find a way to schedule the second without typing everything in by hand. If I hit C-c C-s again, it changes the time of the first meeting rather than scheduling a second meeting. Is there a more efficient way to do this?

What is ‘org mode’?

Some tasks need to be repeated again and again. Org mode helps to organize such tasks using a so-called repeater in a ‘ DEADLINE ’, ‘ SCHEDULED ’, or plain timestamps 69. In the following example:

What does it mean when a task is scheduled as done?

Meaning: you are planning to start working on that task on the given date. The headline is listed under the given date 65. In addition, a reminder that the scheduled date has passed is present in the compilation for today, until the entry is marked as done, i.e., the task is automatically forwarded until completed.

How about:

** Meet with a dude

   <2014-04-27 Sun 14:00-14:30>
   <2014-04-29 Tue 10:00-10:30>
   <2014-05-02 Fri 08:00-08:30>

This will show up in your agenda at the indicated times.
