You can also set org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks to 'invisible, which will remove blocked tasks entirely from the agenda. Then, you could add the property ":ORDERED: t" to the heading and schedule them (for the diary agenda) or mark them NEXT/TODO (for the todo list). This would cause each event to appear on the agenda after the blocking task is marked done. > An additional/other approach would be the use of :TRIGGER: > chain-siblings(NEXT) in order to move the NEXT state from a finished > task to the next one. Or, since the OP is using org-depend.el (in contrib), he could also use :TRIGGER: chain-siblings-scheduled(NEXT). Best, Matt
