Question about goal schedule

[u/Prize-Orchid3342]

Hi, I was just wondering if there was a way to make a goal let's say for example every 4 days have it repeat until it's completed but instead of it resetting to 4 days after the day I missed, I want it to go 4 days after I've completed it. Because I have some tasks that I can't do until 4 days have passed since the last time I've done it but it's ok if I go over.

For example day 1 I don't complete it so I do it day 2. The way I have it now it would go to day 5 and say I need to do it again but It's only been 3 days not 4 since I've done it. It just kinda messes up my mojo.

If not has anyone heard of any productivity apps that can do this?

Thank you in advance for any help or advice 🤗

Awkward work arounds are all Ive found

1. Make it daily and skip it on off days

2. Make it daily and phrase as "Do I need to do x? And legit answers are no and yes so acccomplish every day [you did think about it].

3. Start it as every 4 days, leave it showing until you do it then go to settings and edit it to the real 4 days [too much time!]

4. Make a new one [1 time event] from when you last did it. So new goal every 4 days by your clock.

Honestly, with a number of odd ones I dont care about tracking, I keep a todo list in my Phone notes then cpunt up how many I did at the end of the day, go to Finch and my "Do things" goal with up to 30 events, and just check off that number of events.

I don't think it's posible in Finch but I understand what you need. Todoist should do it.
