org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift with negative shifts
This post is at the weekly Emacs Tips Reddit thread1. I use org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift (C-c C-x c on an org heading) sometimes when I need richer agenda entries than using a repeater like <2023-09-25 Mon +1w>. This allows for better notes upon individual dates, as well as more nuanced control like “except those three Mondays”. This morning I accidentally started my clones a couple weeks in the future, meaning I missed today and next week. I was happy to realize that I could clone a subtree with a negative shift (two clones with -1w steps) to recover from the issue easily.
