# Recurring Task Cadences

Recurring tasks can be scheduled with a variety of repetition cadences including:

* ‘**Daily**’
  * On specific days, everyday, or every weekday.
* ‘**Once a Week**’
  * On specific days, any week day, on any day.
* ‘**Once Every 2 Weeks**’
  * Any of these days in the first week, any weekday in the first week, any day in the first week, any weekday in the second week, or any day in the second week.
* ‘**Once a Month**’
  * 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th occurrence of a particular day of the week in that month. Any day of the month, or any day in a particular week of that month.
* ‘**Once Every 3 Months**’
  * First or last occurrence of a particular day of the week. Any day in the 1st, second, or last week of the month. Or any day in the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd month.

### **Benefits of Recurring Tasks:**

#### **Time and Energy Savings**

By setting a task as “Recurring,” it automatically appears on your calendar at the desired intervals. No need to create a new task for each instance—set it once, and our system takes care of the rest.

#### **Intelligent Handling of Missed Tasks**

If you miss a recurring task instance, our system intelligently re-schedules the instance for another time instead of creating a duplicate task. This keeps your task list clean and focused, avoiding clutter and confusion.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Please Note:** Daily recurring tasks are unable to be rolled into the next day, as that is when the new occurrence of the task will be created. If there is no available time to schedule a daily recurring task in your calendar, it will result in a ‘could not fit’ state.
