I dont want to confuse your goals but personally I would move my status into tags and list tiddlers based on tags. This would move tasks/notes into tiddlers. You could use "split tiddler" to convert large tiddlers into individual ones. This means you would move from searches (Flat file model) to tagging a loose database model.
