(and give an > example of what it looks like in org-mode) Hi Xavier, Everything is a project. A project is just a task. All of my TODO tasks start at level 2 * Miscellaneous ** TODO Some Project *** TODO Step 1 :NEXT: *** TODO Step 2 ... My stuck projects view complains about any level 2 task (or level 1 refile task) that does not have a :NEXT: task under it and is not scheduled for a specific day. i.e. If there was no :NEXT: task then the stuck projects view would say that 'Some Project' was stuck and needs the next task defined. If it's a simple task with a known scheduled/deadline date then I just create the date and it keeps it off the stuck projects list. It will show up in my agenda with an appropriate lead time. If it's a simple task without a date I can just give it a :NEXT: task ** TODO Simple Task :NEXT: and it's no longer stuck. I can work on it anytime when I pick stuff off my NEXT task agenda view. I don't want to explicitly say 'this thing is a project'. That's an extra step I don't need. A project isn't special in any way for me -- I group tasks into separate org files to keep them logically together. I normally don't think about projects and tasks separately - everything is a project and I create NEXT tags on tasks to make them all unstuck. Does that help?
