I mean it's one of my org-agenda-custom-commands. This is my (probably
overly) complex setup to list any of the things I do at home, which
have
a TODO="NEXT" action associated with them.
("h" "Home Stuff (Next)"
((tags-todo "Home//NEXT" nil)
(tags-todo "DIY//NEXT" nil)
(tags-todo "Karen//NEXT" nil)
(tags-todo "PhoneH//NEXT" nil)
(tags-todo "LaptopH//NEXT" nil)
(tags-todo "WaitingH//NEXT" nil)
(tags-todo "SometimeH//NEXT" nil))
nil)
Some of these actions will have SCHEDULED or DEADLINE dates associated
with them and I only want to see those actions 30 days (or perhaps 60
days) before the date. Anything without a DEADLine or SCHEDULED date I
want to see in the list.

OK - promising - this looks like it may do what I want:
("h" "Home Stuff (Next)"
(
(tags-todo "TODO=\"NEXT\"+Home+DEADLINE<\"<+1m>\"" nil)
(tags-todo "TODO=\"NEXT\"+Home+DEADLINE=\"\"" nil)
(tags-todo "TODO=\"NEXT\"+Home+SCHEDULED<\"<+1m>\"" nil)
(tags-todo "TODO=\"NEXT\"+Home+SCHEDULED=\"\"" nil)
etc
I.e., find me NEXT items with the tag of Home, with a deadline within
the next month, AND find me NEXT items with the Home tag, where
there is
no DEADLINE, AND ....
But that does seem very complex. (it also feels slow).

It does. At least i know there is a way to do it. The question now
is -
is there an easier way ?
Not currently, no. And yes, it will be slow because of accessing
properties
(DEADLINE counts as a property in this case).
You could construct a faster way by using org-agenda-skip and looking
for
the deadline yourself. That might actually work quite well and
reasonably fast.
Let me know if you need help to put this together.

I haven't stopped using org-mode - it is the lubricant which oils the
wheels of my life. I have just reduced the time I can spend reading
and
responding to mailing list emails. :-( Still grazing on the list
though.
Cheers
