Hi Louis,

After some time when the repeating task has accumulated enough log stuff
I clone the task with time shift of 1 day in this case.
There's a problem with ++ and cloning so I remove the repeater on the
old task (it works fine with just +1d) and delete my LOGBOOK drawer in
the new repeating task.

When the old task is DONE I archive that with C-c C-x C-s and start
accumulating new stuff in the new repeating task.

HTH,
Bernt
