Tracking repeating items in Org-Mode

I'm wondering if there's a way of tracking daily repeating tasks in org-mode. For example lets say I have a list of things to do every day - 

* TODO Task 1
* TODO Task 2
* TODO Task 3

Is there a way to have the tasks under a new daily date heading automatically, so it might become -

* TASKS
** April 17 [/]
*** TODO Task 1
*** TODO Task 2
*** TODO Task 3
** April 18 [/]
*** TODO Task 1
*** TODO Task 2
*** TODO Task 3

...ETC

  • If you use org-mode's agenda mode to organize your tasks, which I recommend, you can add +1d to your task's timestamp to make it recur daily. The example given in the Dates and Times section of the manual is Pick up Sam at school <2007-05-16 Wed 12:30 +1w>.
