If I may jump in here, I'll add that go a little further to aid with
multiple projects. I use two SEQ_TODO's like this:
#+SEQ_TODO: TODO NEXT INPROGRESS WAITING | DONE CANCELED
#+SEQ_TODO: PROJECT | COMPLETE
Then my project trees (all in one file) look like this:
* PROJECT My main project outline :Work:
** TODO do something
** NEXT do this
SCHEDULED: <2007-07-12 Thu>
** TODO do something else
** WAITING someone else is working on this
** INPROGRESS Here's what I'm currently working on
* PROJECT Another project
** NEXT next for another project
** TODO do anothre thing
When I generate agendas, I can do a tags/TODO agenda on
'Work/PROJECT|NEXT'. Through indentation, the agenda visually
groups everything so I can see what's next for each project. It
looks something like this.
PROJECT My main project outline :Work:
.NEXT do this
PROJECT Another project :Work:
.NEXT next for another project
This is great for a weekly review, to make certain all project have
a defined NEXT action.
A tags/TODO agenda that includes all TODO keywords will also group
tasks by project, but will give broader scope.
(One down-side to this is that M-S-<RET> on the first TODO after a
PROJECT headline inserts a new PROJECT rather than a new TODO, which
I have to then change. The alternative, of course, is to add at the
end of the list for a project.

Dan
