There are a few ways one could use statistic cookies to make this more "automatic." The first is to set: (setq org-provide-todo-statistics 'all-headlines) Also make sure that org-hierarchical-todo-statistics is set to t (the default). This will make sure that the statistics cookie counts all entries, not just todo keywords, so the second number in a cookie [3/18] will be the total number of subheadings. Org-mode already automatically updates cookies when changing a todo. But you could also update the cookies when changing a headline to ensure an up-to-date count: (add-hook 'org-insert-heading-hook 'org-update-parent-todo-statistics) Hope this helps, Matt
