What I want is that if I look at my list of things to do, and I’ve

it’s been a week since last time. (And I don’t want to mop an unswept
floor. And I don’t need to mop every time I sweep.)
This is what I have now.
I’m using GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll
bars) of 2010-12-11 on brahms, modified by Debian and the version of
org-mode that came with it.
* TODO mop the floor :home:
SCHEDULED: 2011-11-01 Tue .+1w
** TODO sweep the floor
SCHEDULED: 2011-11-01 Tue .+1d
I have a custom agenda search that hides future items. For example,
expressions like
(hh tags-todo home+SCHEDULED=\\|SCHEDULED=\today\) deep
inside org-agenda-custom-commands.
I have custom-set
'(org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks (quote invisible))
'(org-enforce-todo-dependencies t)
The problem is that “sweep the floor” never gets marked done since it
has a repeater, so “mop the floor” never becomes visible.
Can I fix this problem, or can I get the desired behavior some other
way?
Thank you,
Sandra
PS
“mop the floor” and “sweep the floor” are just examples and so are the
specific intervals. I have many different repeating and depending tasks
that work like this.

you might like to look at org-depend module if you have complicated
dependency problems, but another way to repeat is to not use the
repeater notation which never gives you a done chore but to use the clone
subtree shift time (which you can find in the menu for edit structure)
Just some quick thoughts.
