A recurring tasks is a task that comes back automatically according to the schedule you choose. When you complete it, the task moves to the next date in the sequence — for example, tomorrow for daily tasks, next week for weekly tasks, or next month for monthly tasks.
You will only see one occurrence at a time, and future instances don’t appear until you complete the current one. This makes it easy to focus on the next task without being overwhelmed by multiple future entries.
This is especially handy in My Planner, because once you complete a task, it automatically appears on the next day in eXtra tiles across daily and weekly Planner views, as well as on the Calendar page.
Common ways to use recurrent tasks:
Daily habits (like drinking water or exercising)
Weekly chores or meetings
Monthly reports or bills
Yearly events (like birthdays or taxes)
Other custom recurrences with more flexible intervals
