A terrific insight.  While I think I mostly use orgmode effectively this is a 
mistake I'm clearly making.  At the top of my agenda is always a list of things 
that are tagged IN PROGRESS or WAITING or just TODO, with sometimes something 
ridiculous like 'Sched.657x'.

And what do I do with that?  Read right past it and go on to what's on the 
agenda for today.  So indeed it's useless.

What I should do is (at minimum) move those things elsewhere and review them 
every so often (maybe a daily 5 minute review) and then schedule a specific 
'next step'activity, if appropriate, for the next day or maybe several days.
