Great explanation on how to generate a list of dates using SmartBlock! I added "How often?" portion to the equation to generate the list of dates for a specific date interval.

<%SET:startingDate,<%INPUT:What is the starting date?%%Today%>%><%NOBLOCKOUTPUT%>

<%SET:howOften,<%INPUT:How often do you want to review?%%5%>%><%NOBLOCKOUTPUT%>

<%SET:howManyTimes,<%INPUT:How many times to generate?%%5%>%><%NOBLOCKOUTPUT%>

<%JAVASCRIPT:
```javascript
roam42.sb.vars['dayCounter'] = -1;```
%><%NOBLOCKOUTPUT%>

```
<%DATEBASIS:<%GET:startingDate%>%>
```

<%REPEAT:<%GET:howManyTimes%>%><%DATE:in <%J:return roam42.sb.vars['dayCounter'] += Number(roam42.sb.vars['howOften']);
%> day%>

```
<%CURSOR%>
```
