Setting up repeating actions and projects
When you have something that needs to be done more than once, you can set it up as a repeating item.
Select the item you want to repeat.
Open the inspector from the Inspectors menu or by clicking the Inspectors button in the toolbar.
Click the Repeat checkbox in the inspector.
Enter a repeat interval.
Choose how to count the repeat interval. You can count from the original assigned date (for something that has to happen regularly, like paying the rent) or from the completion date (for something that needs to happen a certain duration after the last time you did it, like getting a haircut).
For example: Start Tuesday 5:00 PM; due Tuesday 10:00 PM; repeat every 1 week from assigned date: take out the trash. This repeats from the assigned date because it is necessary to do it at the same time every week, regardless of when you last did it.
Start today 12:00 AM; due today 6:00 PM; repeat every 5 days from completion date: clean the kitchen. This repeats from the completion date because the next time you need to do it depends on the last time you did it.
When you mark a repeating item as complete, the next instance of it is created with its start and due dates pushed forward as indicated by the Repeat interval. If you want an item to stop repeating, just turn off the Repeat setting in the inspector.
