I would like to be able to specify tasks that repeat forever, but also have expiration dates on each occurrence.

One area this would be particularly useful for me is in organizing housekeeping tasks. For example, a task like "mop the floor" would be entered as a task that repeats every Monday. However, if I don't get to it, it would automatically be replaced by the next occurrence of the task. Perhaps the expiration date could be either the date of the next occurrence or another date specified in the repeat inspector. If don't get to mopping the floor by Wednesday or Thursday it could go away until the following Monday.

I thought about using the option to repeat a task from the completion date, but I want to keep the task anchored to the same day of the week.

Overall what I am trying to do in OF is create a project(s) for keeping up with life. Things that should be done weekly (cleaning, paying bills, picking up mail, meal planning, etc.), but don't always get done.

Any suggestions for organizing these sorts of tasks would be appreciated too.
