Two possible approaches (disclaimer: these come from a non-GTD-purist trying to compensate for failing short-term memory!): 1. If you add Kralik's extendedTicklersPlugin (http:// kralik.tiddlyspot.com/), you get the possibility of additional (and more precise) intervals for recurring ticklers. So you could tag something Daily, and then have it recur every 2 days.
2. Alternatively, the DailyTasksPlugin lets you see the pattern of the last week: http://share.lewcid.org/2008/03/10/dailytasks.html cmari On May 17, 4:10 am, Acidfire <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for your input.
