I'm using filtering for effort.
I'm doing this from the agenda currently - getting a list of todo tasks,
limiting to tasks with tag NEXT and then further limiting it to effort
times <0 using the standard agenda effort filter
List of all TODO entries (excluding dated items)
/ Limit to NEXT tagged tasks
/ / Limit to effort <= 0
/ / /
C-c a t / N / + 1
