I got daily deeds just yesterday and haven't found out yet how to plan for following days. E.g. I have to go shopping this week on wednesday and thursday - than I have to wash the windows first week of august - and I want to make a detailed plan for todays deeds.
What I did was: Yesterday, I added new habits for all tasks that I've got to do - than marked the dates in the calendar when I will have to do the tasks.
Today all the tasks that I had marked - meaning that it was "to be done" - appeared like already been done.
How works planning ahead?
I would also like to be able to assort the tasks as it suits to the day.

Hey Beate,
Since I already answered your query above via an email (and assuming you understood it :) ), I'm also posting the same reply here so that others who're looking for an answer get an idea too.
------------------
Let me run your through the core idea behind Daily Deeds. Everyone has a set of tasks that he needs to do. These may be tasks like -- finish a project, record the NFL match, call the dentist and schedule an appointment. These are often one-off tasks, mostly non-repetitive. And then there are some tasks that you do daily. These are tasks like walking the dog, taking out the trash, going to the gym, dropping the kids at school.There are plenty of task based apps on the App Store that cater to the former category. We designed Daily Deeds with the latter in mind. When you add a new 'Habit' in Daily Deeds, the app schedules it daily for an indefinite time. Let's say I add the following habits in my app.
1. Walk the dog.
2. Take the medicines.
3. Lock the windows.
4. Work out.
5. Call Melissa.These tasks may be trivial or they may be of high priority, they just have to be something you'd do daily. As you finish/do each task in the day, you press the big blue button in the center to mark them as done. At the end of the month, or in the month view, you can see your progress of how you've been fairing. Let me tell you, in my case, the 'Work Out' deed is often empty. ;) You can also email a PDF of the report to get the entire month's view/report on your Mac or PC.
This was pretty much the core idea behind the app.
Now, we've been getting a lot of feature requests and suggestions asking us to implement a feature to select the days you'd want to do a task on. My friend Brandon, for example, only takes out his trash on alternate days. So he wants a feature where he can mark what days in a week he wants to do so. I assume that's what you're looking to do too?
We're currently working on an update to the app (bugfixes and Retina Display support for iPhone 4) and this feature is being brainstormed upon. We'll definitely give it a thought and see if we can implement it in the upcoming version, or we may push it to the next major update.
If you guys still have any questions, leave a comment below.
