For a task only repeated 3 times, I settled on giving each instance a
separate entry. If it is a complex item with several subitems,
the command org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift command helps a lot.
,----[ (info "(org)Structure editing") ]
| `C-c C-x c'
| Clone a subtree by making a number of sibling copies of it. You
| will be prompted for the number of copies to make, and you can
| also specify if any timestamps in the entry should be shifted.
| This can be useful, for example, to create a number of tasks
| related to a series of lectures to prepare. For more details, see
| the docstring of the command `org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift'.
