I use something similar, but don't have a start or delegated tag. "Next" is key, in my opinion and I use it for the same reasons as Bastien. I have lots of todos and it's nice to scan through them during the course of a week and mark those "next" that I know need to be done... next. Makes it much easier to do this regularly and then work on the next items vs. identifying something to do next and then having to re-scan the massive todo list every time for a good thing to work on. I use "wait" as well, though one issue I've had is forgetting about them. Though, I put my wait after the "|", which perhaps doesn't make sense. Seeing Bastien's list makes me want to think about rethinking that. Or adjusting the "todo" date to reflect when I need to follow up about why I'm waiting or with to whom I've delegated the task.
