i have no right to respond as i have 483 scheduleds and 28 deadlines
and i get lost even trying to get one thing done per week, but i just
wanted to add to the advice so far.

there is org-edna for dependencies.  org-depend also, but i think it
lacks the feature of scheduling a remote org-id header once a local
one is doneified.

it is useful to stick inactive timestamps at boh on headlines, so you
can do all sorts of things like visually bisect to find what you are
looking for, search only the visible headlines, etc.  this makes for
good logging.  [others will recommend date trees instead.]

i like this type of discussion as we have had few of them in the last
8 years or so and there is much insight for usage and even fodder for
better features or refactoring, i think.

gtd is too labor-intensive for myself, but others will suggest reading
materials if you think it fits.

org is flexible so it's really a toolkit for figuring out your own
structures.  i'd suggest not getting too fancy at first because yagni
sometimes applies.

i find it useful to think of my org forest as an ontology of
representations of preferably physical objects that become canonical
locations in it.

thus, your washer is one holon [subtree] and you always know where to
refile to for it.  then you don't need tags as much; you can use org
id links to make the forest a digraph.  location determines identity.

this is in contrast to, for example "stuff to do for maintenance".
