Start by setting the due date to "today". Choose repeat interval "every day for 33 times". If you study as planned, you will two instances of this task: todays task and also tomorrows, as that is created at 00:00 automatically. Completing the task doesn't create the next instance if that has already been created automatically.

Getting reminders is a separate issue.

Thx for the reply btw. Shouldn't this also be a feature? Like completing a task that repeats over a period will CONTINUE to generate the task over that period?

The task will generate repeats for 33 days.

However, it's not the fact that you complete it that makes it repeat, it's the fact that the clock has passed midnight that creates the new instance.

There is another type of repeat (after) but I don't think that works with "for NN times".

Unfortunately I would also like to see that as being "due" tomorrow (or any other day following today). Is there a way to generate all tasks in the future at once thus making them appear on future dates?

Repeating tasks only create one new instance at a time. With "every", that happens when the old instance becomes overdue. If you want many tasks, one for each day, you will have to create many tasks, maybe through mail import or clever duplication.

RTM has a duplicate action you could use to duplicate this. To aid in getting this many, you could duplicate the duplicates to keep doubling the number of tasks.

OK I realized where I was wrong :

For due I typed in today (makes sense), but then repeat I inputted "after 33 days"

THIS IS WRONG.

It should be: DUE: "every day for 33 days"

This was kind of hard to spot.
