See (info (org) Tracking your habits). A habit is like a periodic TODO which you mark DONE each time you complete it for the day, but it resets itself to being undone again after an interval of time passes. Habits also come with a nice display in agenda views to show you how often you actually do something. (I use this feature to track my daily meditation habits, for example). This way, together with org's time clock, the task is periodic, but the clock times and relevant notes can still all be kept in one place and the task can be represented as a single headline.

What I did was to prevent changing the TODO status to NEXT when clocking in, as there is no real next action. Thanks, Rainer

Hi Rainer, Why do you not want them as TODOs? I had thought I didn't but came to believe I was over-complicating things. I have a number of daily and weekly tasks of this sort (these include your examples), and they are genuinely things I need to do :-) They have appropriate repeater cookies in the scheduled lines and it works just fine. Well enough that I've forgotten the reasons for which I resisted treating them as TODO items in the first place. Best, Brian vdB
