As with anything in MLO there are probably multiple ways to do this. I will
tell you how I handle it, if this does not work for you please write back
and say why, there are probably other solutions.
First, create a new context. Call it something like *Weekday
Second, set it so that the *Weekday context is closed weekends and open
weekdays. (In the panel on the right, click the "hours" tab to get a matrix
showing all the times in a week in quarter hours increments. They should
all be in bright colours, which means "open". Click your mouse at the top
of the Saturday column and drag to the bottom of the Sunday column, in
order to draw a box that includes all of Saturday and Sunday. When you
release the mouse button you should see Mon thru Fri in bright colours and
Sat and Sun in black. This tells you that the *Weekday context is open
Mon-Fri and closed Sat and Sun. If any blocks are the wrong colour, click
on each incorrect block to flip it
Third, when all of the colours are correct, click "close" then create your
task, context = *weekday (no other contexts) start date = due date = today,
recurrence = regenerate one day after completion
If you do this on a Wednesday and you complete the task on Wednesday, it
will become due Thursday and will vanish from your active tasks view.
Tomorrow Thursday it will be back. If you do not get to it, it will be on
your list Friday, but showing as overdue. Let's suppose that you complete
the task on Friday - here's the magic- the task will regenerate as due
Saturday but when you look at your active tasks, it will not show, because
the context, *Weekdays, is closed on Saturdays. Sunday it will not show
either because the context is closed Sundays as well. Monday it will be
back on the view, showing a due date of Saturday and marked overdue.
I think this gives you just what you want - If you complete the task it
goes away until the next weekday. If you don't complete the task it will
remain on your active tasks but will blink out on the weekend and reappear
on Monday
The downside is the restriction that your task cannot have any context
besides *weekend. There are workarounds for this, if you need to add
another context write back and I will explain.

Hi Dwight,
The first option you mentioned. If I check it off on Monday, I want it to
show on Tuesday, if I check it off on Friday, I want it to show up on Monday.

I have tasks that I try to do daily on weekdays. I have them setup to
recur on a weekdays. If I miss one of these tasks for example for a week,
when I check it off, it generates the next day and I have to check them off
for every day. I was wondering if there is a way to have them generate
only the future dates. I know there is an option for regenerate x days
after completion, but is there a way to regenerate on weekdays only?
