Skip one iteration of a recurrent task
onerror says:
When using recurrent tasks as reminders for study, reading some book or routines quite often you want to just postpone one iteration till another occurrence. However, it's not easy to do. Say, you want to be reminded to read some newspaper every Saturday. Nothing bad happens if you don't, but if you have time, you want to be reminded only on Saturdays. So, Saturday comes, and you have no time for that, you want to postpone a task, but the options are +1 day, +2 days etc... I don't want to figure out for myself the next occurrence date. I just want to have an option "next time", and the system would figure it out for me that next time is next Saturday after today.

I don't know if this will mess up any other process you may have (e.g., historical records), but for this, I simply complete the task in RTM if I won't be able to get to it this time. That removes it from my list of tasks and it's already there in RTM to remind me again next Saturday.
