Hi, I am currently using Org-mode to apply GTD
I was wondering what you would do with the following situations:
My todo sequence is next -> done, and someday, delegate -> waiting,
cancelled
- For scheduled tasks, would you make these tasks NEXTs or would you
set them as waiting? If NEXTs, how would you filter the agenda to not
show these scheduled NEXTs?
- For a heading with three subtasks, if the last 2 subtasks require
the first subtask to be completed, how would you handle this?
Thanks and I look forward to your response

I would also add a TODO state - not everything is NEXT or WAITING is it?
#+TODO: TODO(t) NEXT(n) | DONE(d)
#+TODO: SOMEDAY(s) DELEGATE(D) WAITING(w) | CANCELLED(c)

I just make scheduled tasks TODO to keep them off my NEXT lists. I also
set org-todo-ignore-scheduled as follows so these tasks don't show up in
my global todo lists before I plan to work on them.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-todo-ignore-scheduled 'future
#+end_src

I'm assuming you have to do subtask 1 first, and then subtasks 2 and 3
can be done in any order after task one. This seems to work:
* TODO Project
:PROPERTIES:
:ORDERED: t
:END:
** TODO Step 1
** TODO Step 2 and 3
*** TODO Step 2
*** TODO Step 3
