I am chainging my old approach of scheduling/deadlining every single task. Now I schedule something only if it needs to be done on that day and deadline something only if it's a real deadline/milestone. This leads to a very small (default) agenda view of only essential items. But I wanted to list the tasks currently in progress, list of potential tasks that I can pick up next and remaining the tasks hence the customized agenda below. This view/method also seems to fit nicely with using org-depend to ensure that next sibling gets on the NEXT queue when a task is marked DONE. The old approach of scheduling/deadlining would have required that org-depend/TRIGGER property /schedule/ the next sibling task (just switching the state would not bring it into agenda view.) This also allows me to fiddle with agenda sorting or buffer/subtree restrictions to approach work-list in various ways (e.g. http://www.murtworld.com/2005/04/revolving-workflow-strategies.php). I am not sure how much "<today>" and "<now>" will help in the view below.. we shall see. For now I am okay with these views (and a few exaploratory views.) (setq org-agenda-custom-commands (quote ( ("zu" "NEXT Tasks - No Specified Duration" tags-todo "Effort={^$}/!NEXT-DONE-CANCELLED" nil) ("zz" "My Personalized Agenda" ((agenda "" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Personalized Agenda:"))) (tags-todo "+SCHEDULED<=\"<now>\"+DEADLINE<=\"<now>\"/!STARTED" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Currently in progress:"))) (tags-todo "+SCHEDULED<=\"<now>\"+DEADLINE<=\"<now>\"/!NEXT" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Next in Queue:") (org-agenda-sorting-strategy (quote (category-keep effort-up))))) (tags-todo "+SCHEDULED<=\"<now>\"+DEADLINE<=\"<now>\"/!TODO" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "To be Queued:") (org-agenda-sorting-strategy (quote (category-keep effort-up)))))) nil)))) As always a big thanks for such an amazingly flexible system.
