How do you set a task in a to do list to only show on certain days of the week?

I am building a task list where the same daily tasks are completed each day, so I have a list with around 20 tasks or so, with links and the time they should be completed etc. However, there are a couple of tasks, such as client briefings, that only occur on specific days of the week - is it possible to get it so that these tasks only show on the day of the briefing in my interface, not everyday?

Hmm, try:
1. Create a field that indicates which day of the week this task is supposed to be completed on
2. Create a formula field that will check whether today's the same day, and if it is, output the text "Display" 
3. Use this formula field in the Interface filter

IF( DATETIME_FORMAT( TODAY(), 'dddd' ) = {Day to complete}, 'Display' )
