Repeat task the day before the 1st X-day of month
italianwaite says:
I have a specific task that happens on the first Wed of every month. But I need to reminded about that task the day before so that I can prepare for it. So I need a task that will repeat the day before the first Wed of every month.
The simplest solution would be to have it repeat the 1st Tues of every month. But what if the 1st day of the month falls on a Wed? Then the task will be a week late.
The repeat field doesn't support anything as complex as "repeat 1 day before 1st wed of month". Anything else I've tried has not been interpreted correctly.
I realize I may be trying something that just isn't possible, but I figured I might as well ask to see if anyone has an idea of how to make this work.

italianwaite,
You may want to keep the due date on the 1st Wednesday of each month and then either set a reminder 1 day before a task is due and/or use something like sleeper tags to have some foresight on upcoming tasks.
Hope this helps!
