Is that right and if yes could you share it please? Best, Rainer

Hasn't been coded yet, sorry. :( But followup on the thread so Carsten sees it has more supporters! :) Thx, John

That seems pretty close to enough, though it's not quite automated.

[O] do it today, or well, tomorrow
There is a nice little app for android called do it tomorrow, where you can plan easily for one day, and move them to the next day easily. I was trying to do the same in org-mode, so my idea is that: - in the morning I fill some tasks which I should do during the day - at night I move to the next days the ones which were not finished (maybe the DONE flag should be set automatically in case they're trivial or the explanation might go somewhere else). The problem is that from the agenda view I can't easily move a task to the next day, is anyone doing anything like this? Thanks, Andrea

Shift-right work great thanks! The problem is that shift-arrow in general is a disputed key for me, so I have to use M-- / M-+ to get the same result, not a big deal anyway. Thanks everyone

I only see the habit page on the manual now, but it has to be enabled, and the SCHEDULED setting has to be done by hand right? Maybe I should use a capture template for that? And it's not very clear how do I set an habit on a task, when I run org-habit-toggle-habits it opens me the agenda buffer, instead of doing something in the current task as I (wrongly) expected.

Re: [O] do it today, or well, tomorrow
While we're talking about scheduling... one thing I'd love to see, but never figured out how to do, is to schedule a parent task, and have the subtasks all inherit that schedule. I think I've tried most obvious things, but schedules seem just not to be inherited.
