Recurring task patterns improved experiences in time management.

"We have to deal with tasks what repeat from day to day, like a lunch and dinner. To stay healthy we are attending fitness centers few days a week. Many of us dream about traveling abroad, thus setup the goal to learn a foreign language. Attending language courses is also a recurring task. In my daily list I usually have 4 - 7 tasks what repeat regularly. Possibility to schedule recurring tasks in one click is a good strength saving. Even if I do not know what I can do next, with recurring tasks I have a half of my daily plan." - said Anna Fedorenko, coauthor of time management tool AcePlanner.Recurring tasks help breaking a day layout into operational holes. These holes are easier to fill than just entering tasks to the blank. Occurrence of repeatable task can be predicted exactly based on previous experience. It helps building more realistic plans.
The other reason to setup recurring tasks is a confidence what planning made every day. Even if no tasks other than recurring scheduled, daily planning continued. Experience shows what skipping planning activities for few days can lead to skipping it at all.
AcePlanner supports variations of daily, weekly and monthly recurrence patterns. Recurrence can be applied for every day, every workday or every weekend. The weekend recurrence widely used for scheduling family vacations or a homework. Weekly pattern allows defining one or more days of week to have a task recurrence. Monthly pattern works by specifying a number and a day of week affected, otherwise simply the day of a month.
