Hi Ido,

In the second block set the variable org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled to
either 'future or 'all to avoid listing items with a scheduled date.

This is part of my block agenda for next tasks:

   (tags-todo "-WAITING-CANCELLED/!NEXT|STARTED"
	      ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Available to Work on Now")
	       (org-agenda-skip-function 'bh/skip-projects)
	       (org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled 'future)
	       (org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines 'future)
	       (org-tags-match-list-sublevels t)
	       (org-agenda-sorting-strategy
		'(effort-up category-keep))))

HTH,
Bernt
