I seem to have found a custom view I am happy with. I am
chainging my old approach of scheduling/deadlining every single
task. Now I schedule something only if it needs to be done on
that day and deadline something only if it's a real
deadline/milestone. This leads to a very small (default) agenda
view of only essential items. But I wanted to list the tasks
currently in progress, list of potential tasks that I can pick up
next and remaining the tasks hence the customized agenda below.
This view/method also seems to fit nicely with using org-depend
to ensure that next sibling gets on the NEXT queue when a task is
marked DONE. The old approach of scheduling/deadlining would
have required that org-depend/TRIGGER property /schedule/ the next
sibling task (just switching the state would not bring it into
agenda view.) This also allows me to fiddle with agenda sorting or
buffer/subtree restrictions to approach work-list in various ways
(e.g. http://www.murtworld.com/2005/04/revolving-workflow-strategies.php).
I am not sure how much "<today>" and "<now>" will help in the
view below.. we shall see. For now I am okay with these
views (and a few exaploratory views.)
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
(quote (
("zu" "NEXT Tasks - No Specified Duration" tags-todo
"Effort={^$}/!NEXT-DONE-CANCELLED" nil)
("zz" "My Personalized Agenda"
((agenda ""
((org-agenda-overriding-header
"Personalized Agenda:")))
(tags-todo
"+SCHEDULED<=\"<now>\"+DEADLINE<=\"<now>\"/!STARTED"
((org-agenda-overriding-header
"Currently in progress:")))
(tags-todo
"+SCHEDULED<=\"<now>\"+DEADLINE<=\"<now>\"/!NEXT"
((org-agenda-overriding-header "Next
in Queue:")
(org-agenda-sorting-strategy (quote
(category-keep effort-up)))))
(tags-todo
"+SCHEDULED<=\"<now>\"+DEADLINE<=\"<now>\"/!TODO"
((org-agenda-overriding-header "To be Queued:")
(org-agenda-sorting-strategy (quote
(category-keep effort-up)))))) nil))))
As always a big thanks for such an amazingly flexible system.
Best,
