Skip Recurring Tasks

(closed account) says:
Is there any real way of skipping recurring tasks? I have a list of tasks that I'd like to complete every day, but it doesn't always happen. I hate having to "complete" when it's really incomplete -- and postponing it doesn't work because the task is already listed every day.

Right now I have two daily recurring tasks that are incomplete for the last two days, but all I can do is say they're completed when they're not :( Totally skews my statistics.

It sounds like you may prefer to use the "after" repeat format, which only generates the next task once you complete the current one.

So on a day you don't complete the task, you postpone it and that instance moves to tomorrow, and then when you complete it tomorrow, the next instance is created on the following day.

Hope this helps!
