Welcome to Planner! We've got a bunch of GTD people here, and I'm sure
we can help you tweak Planner to fit your way of working. =)

If you want to automatically add a certain tag every time you create a task
with planner-create-task-from-buffer, you can use the following piece of code:

(defun jeff/planner-crossreference-with-task-pool ()
 "Always add task to task pool."
 (unless (member
          "TaskPool"
          (planner-multi-task-link-as-list (planner-current-task-info)))
  (planner-multi-task-xref "TaskPool")))
(add-hook 'planner-create-task-hook 'jeff/planner-crossreference-with-task-pool)

This can lead to a rather intimidating number of tasks in TaskPool, though.

planner-task-overview can give you an overview of the tasks within the next few 
days,
and might be a more manageable solution.

Alternatively, grep -e '^#[A-C]' 2*.*.* | sort  might be handy.

You're welcome, and you're welcome. =)
