Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried both checkboxes and TODO items
to keep track of my ideas, but your idea of using a done state seems
very neat. I'll give it a go.

What really feels unsatisfactory to me is that only headlines can be
TODO items. I want to be able to insert TODO items in the middle of a
section. I've looked at the inline-tasks add-on, but that doesn't
really do it for me... Anyway, I understand that the way org-mode is
implemented right now, it would be very impractical to try to add
non-headline TODO-items. In any case, org has simplified my life, even
before I've optmized the way I use it. It's great!
