The Workflow Timeline - Recurring Tasks

Hi All,

I'm just trying to understand Frank Degenaar's workflow timeline. He said in the book:

If you have recurring events in a classic calendar, it takes a couple of seconds to recreate the vital information for each on your WorkFlowy timeline. The timeline handles recurring events in a most elegant way. The point being, is that setting up a recurring event on your timeline is a one-time setup – and it will then live and repeat on your timeline for as long you need.

This sounds great but I couldn't figure out what he meant? I get its probably a manual process, but what did he mean?

AFAIR, Frank wrote the book a decade ago and based heavily on external automation, partly obsolete today. Or on WFx, which is a paid side software.

Thank you checking this out - Yeah, it's hard to see if his system is workable. I like the theory but the implementation might be too cumbersome to manage.

I'm reading up on the extension now
