Hi Marcelo,

I use
NEXT(/) TODO(t) STRT(s) WAIT(w@) | DONE(d) DELEGATED(D@) CANCELED(c@)
The difference between NEXT and TODO is because I want to always keep
less than 10 NEXT items on a project, but I still want to distinguish
between TODOs and those entries without a TODO keyword. If I had only
TODO, there would be often too many entries without a TODO keyword.
I use STRT mostly in combination with a Read/Write/Watch tag, to spot
things I started to Read/Write/Watch.
I check WAIT once in a while for pending tasks.
The rest is quite common I guess.
I tried to avoid keywords proliferation and I stabilized this setup
over the years. My main issue was about this NEXT/TODO distinction,
but I found out it's more a matter of discipline than of semantics...
HTH,
