Repeating task after it is completed

giomv says:
I've tried to add some repeating tasks (let's say "wash my hair" every 3 days) but if I'm late one day the next task won't be in 3 but in 2 days... Is there a way to add a new task 3 days after I really wash my hair and not 3 day after I should have done it ?

Try using "after 3 days" instead of "every 3 days".

giomv,
As marcbetts suggested (thanks, marcbetts!), it sounds like you would want to use a task that repeats "after 3 days" in this case. This will create the next occurrence of the task 3 days from the time you complete the task.

This page from our FAQ gives more information about the difference between "every..." and "after..." repeat intervals.

Hope that helps!
