In my workflows I am using dependencies with :BLOCKER: and settings SCHEDULED dates roughly but on the aggressive side. With (setq org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks t) I get them all on my agenda. You just have to learn to visually ignore the dimmed tasks. >From time to time I re-check dimmed tasks for the reason why they are dimmed/blocked to find dead-ends. An additional/other approach would be the use of :TRIGGER: chain-siblings(NEXT) in order to move the NEXT state from a finished task to the next one. -- mail|git|SVN|photos|postings|SMS|phonecalls|RSS|CSV|XML to Org-mode: > get Memacs from https://github.com/novoid/Memacs < https://github.com/novoid/extract_pdf_annotations_to_orgmode + more on github
