Yes. I had this same problem as well. I solved it by not using "regenerate task one day after I complete this task" but instead "recur every day (or every weekday)". When I don't get to the task for several days, I click the "skip recurrence" button and say, "all recurrences up to today" (or I just complete it 3 times to get it current). Then in advanced, I say, "do not create duplicate copies," so that I won't have a zillion of them as completed tasks. Let me know if that is confusing and I can tell you exact names for the fields; I'm going by memory right now. The other thing you can play with is whether you have the parent recur, or the children. I have some of both. For example, my "evening routine" has tasks that I don't want to show up until 9 pm (close down apps for backing up, for example), but it also has tasks that I might pick off earlier in the afternoon, like preparing things for the next day. So for those, I have the children recur, and they have different start times. (By the way you can select multiple tasks and apply just the date changes to them all at once). I have other parent tasks which are more of a "block" - I'm going to do the subtasks all together. For those, I let the children inherit parent dates, so that I can have all tasks reset when I click on the parent's complete checkbox.
