I used C-c C-v to show only TODO items, but some TODO items have ellipses indicating content while some have ellipses indicating DONE items afterwards, so I end up expanding a bunch of DONE items. I have a TODO state called BLOCKING which clutters the view too. I have a vague sense that learning how to use the agenda would help, but I haven't gotten to it yet, since I've been trying to put together a coherent org-mode setup by cargo-culting things from the advanced users' setups. This probably isn't the best way to go about it, of course.. I thought org-mode level 1 was pretty easy to learn -- but I'm really struggling to get to level 2. Ethan
