Wish, command... =)

Here's a basic implementation that always prompts for the next task if
you have a plan page associated with the task you just marked done. It
works for both classic single-plan tasks as well as planner-multi.

(defadvice planner-task-done (after tyler activate)
 "Prompt for the next task in this project. Use C-g to cancel."
 (let ((plan (planner-task-plan (planner-current-task-info)))
       task-description)
   (when plan
     (setq task-description
           (read-string
            (format "Next action in %s: " plan)))
     (unless (string= task-description "")
       (planner-create-task-from-info (planner-current-task-info)
                                      nil nil "_" task-description
                                      nil (planner-today))))))

We can tweak this further if you can think of a way you'd like to do
things.

By the way, most people call me Sacha. "Sandra Jean Chua" is really
just for the copyright statements. =)
