I'd like to retain the ability to find tasks with no effort easily.
There's probably a better solution that the one I came up with.
Are you doing this now using filtering for effort, or a property
search for Effort?
I'm using filtering for effort.
I'm doing this from the agenda currently - getting a list of todo
tasks,
limiting to tasks with tag NEXT and then further limiting it to effort
times <0 using the standard agenda effort filter
List of all TODO entries (excluding dated items)
/ Limit to NEXT tagged tasks
/ / Limit to effort <= 0
/ / /
C-c a t / N / + 1
You are now using "1" and have your first effort etimate set to zero
minutes.
I guess we could make "0" a special selection, not for the 10th effort
step, but for no effort defined. Would that make sense?

Treat no effort defined as 0 minutes.

This changes the default value for Effort during agenda filtering
so
that an undefined Effort value is treated as 0 instead of nil.
Tasks
with no effort defined now return zero effort when selecting
tasks for
the filter.
There was effectively no way to select 'tasks with no effort
defined'
using the agenda effort filter. The '<' operator is interpreted
as
'<=' and the default effort selection defined in
org-agenda-filter-by-tag starts with zero ("0 0:10 ...") so this
change just treats tasks with no effort defined the same as tasks
with
an effort of 0.
This allows fast selection of NEXT tasks with no effort defined.
Column view with follow-mode active in the agenda is great for
quickly
filling in the agenda estimated effort values for tasks. Just
display
your Next tasks, then / 0 to select tasks with no effort and enter
column mode (C-c C-x C-c) and fill in your effort values with the
quick keys (0-9) for all of the tasks that have blanks in the
effort
column.
