Help with Recurrent Calendar Entries (hair falling out)

My issue:
I need help finding some program/advice that will help me with recurrent calendar entries. After I read in the morning, I want to be able to make an entry in some calendar program (preferably Outlook) and have it schedule 4 review sessions for me (1 day later, 1 week later, 1 month later, 6 months later). All review times are critical to high retention of the initially read material.

Any help would be much appreciated. I searched and did not find anything to facilitate this.


Example:
I make the below calendar entry,

7am 1/5/2004
Web-Powered Databases page 50-100


These entries are made by the calendar/program/script/etc automatically or with a very few clicks,

8am 1/6/2004
Web-Powered Databases page 50-100 (day Review)
8am 1/12/2004
Web-Powered Databases page 50-100 (week Review)
8am 2/2/2004
Web-Powered Databases page 50-100 (month Review)
8am 6/7/2004
Web-Powered Databases page 50-100 (6 month Review)
 
Since that isn't a recurrence pattern that Outlook supports for
recurring appointments (or tasks) you would have to create the items
as individual appointments or tasks.

You can get the dates you want by using the following code snippets
that use the DateAdd function:
datOneDayLater = DateAdd("d", 1, Now)
datOneWeekLater = DateAdd("w", 1, Now)
datOneMonthLater = DateAdd("m", 1, Now)
datSixMonthsLater = DateAdd("m", 6, Now)

Use those results to create appointments or tasks that will occur when
you want.
