Another similar solution (cribbed from this list, but I don't remember
who suggested it) is to define a drawer and put all that stuff in it -
isn't that what drawers are for? :-) Keep the drawer closed and the mess
is hidden - and it is not affected by general visibility cycling: you
have to open the drawer deliberately.

The top of one of my org files looks like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
:SETUP:
#+STARTUP: showall lognotedone
#+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) STARTED(s) WAITING(w) | DONE(d) DEFERRED CANCELLED(c)
#+TAGS: { FINANCES(f) HOME(h) PACC(p) SCHOOL(s) WORK(w) } CALL(c) ERRAND(e)
:END:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

You need to set up the variable org-drawers - see section 2.8 of the Org manual.
