Or if you have multiple files for work, multiple for personal use
etc., you can use categories for this, e.g. put this in all personal
files:

  #+CATEGORY: personal

Then your agenda custom commands etc. can filter via
CATEGORY="personal".  It's a bit of a pain configuring each custom
command with this, but it works fine.
