Some tasks need to be repeated again and again, this is called ‘Repeated Tasks’ here.

## The repeater

Org mode helps to organize repeated tasks using a so-called repeater in a ‘DEADLINE’, ‘SCHEDULED’, or plain timestamps. In the following example:

** TODO Pay the rent


the +1m is a repeater; the intended interpretation is that the task has a deadline on ‘<2005-10-01 Sat>’ and repeats itself every (one) month starting from that time. You can use yearly, monthly, weekly, daily and hourly repeat cookies by using the y, m, w, d and h letters1. If you need both a repeater and a special warning period in a deadline entry, the repeater should come first and the warning period last,

DEADLINE: <2005-10-01 Sat +1m -3d>

RepeaterInterpretation
.+xyrepeat in x h/d/w/m/y from the last time I marked it done
++xyrepeat in at least x h/d/w/m/y from the last time I marked it done, And keep it on the same day of the week move the due date into the future by increments of h/d/w/m/y. 2
