Re: [O] How to say I did that yesterday?
I often discover that I completed something a few days ago and I would like to mark it done with the appropriate date as though I had marked it done in the past. That means, e.g., for a repeating event it might repeat sooner than if it had been done today. Is there a way? I also want to to that, basically binding 'now' to a particular time in the past and then executing a todo state change (to effect the log, and also the next scheduled time). I wonder if replacing the calls to get now with a function that looks at a variable and doing (setq now-var (now)) (do-whatever) would be enough to get it to do what I want. pgp51ksUxPmLw.pgp Description: PGP signature

If there is a way to do this for days further in the past, I would welcome it! I also find myself wanting to do this often. Right now I just mark it done, then manually adjust the log entries. best, Erik Sent from my free software system http://fsf.org/.

But if I have a habit to shave every three days and sometime in the past two days I forgot to mark that I shaved, I need a way to record that fact without habits letting me slide for a day and a half past the time I should shave next. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

Heh, we could have org-todo respond to negative prefix args by shifting the date back that many days and then prompting for state as though `C-u' had been pressed. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
