Suppose I want to be reminded to water my plants on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, AND on any of the following days, if for some reason I miss the scheduled days.
I originally tried the following:
*** water plants (1,3,5)
SCHEDULED: <2016-08-29 Mon ++1w><2016-08-31 Wed ++1w><2016-08-26 Fri ++1w>
This does not work -- only the first timestamp is scheduled. The other two are treated as regular timestamps.
I also tried the following, and it does not work:
*** water plants (1,3,5)
SCHEDULED: <2016-08-29 Mon ++1w>
SCHEDULED: <2016-08-31 Wed ++1w>
SCHEDULED: <2016-08-26 Fri ++1w>
Eventually, I tried this, and it worked:
*** water plants (1,3,5)
**** RECURRING water plants (1)
SCHEDULED: <2016-08-29 Mon ++1w>
**** RECURRING water plants (3)
SCHEDULED: <2016-08-31 Wed ++1w>
**** RECURRING water plants (5)
SCHEDULED: <2016-08-26 Fri ++1w>
All three occurrences now show up on my agenda. However, this solution seems very inelegant, and perhaps may be problematic. Is there a neater, more effective way to do achieve the same result?
