THE BASICS OF TODOS

TODO

In Org Mode, TODOs need not be stored in a single file. They can be stored in any notes file and retrieved as a list.
Any Org level headline can be turned into a TODO item when the word TODO follows *
Rotate the state of a TODO with C-c C-t
TODO >> DONE >> no-state
One can also rotate TODOs in the Org agenda buffer interface with t
S-RIGHT S-LEFT cycles TODO states only if shift-selection is not operative
C-c / t views TODOs in a sparse tree
C-c / T, search for a specific TODO
KWD1|KWD2| allows one to search multiple states
M-x org-agenda t (org-todo-list) shows all TODO items from all agenda files
S-M-RET (org-insert-todo-heading)

TODO (Advanced)

One can use different TODO keywords to indicate different states, even sequential states of a task.

This can be done on a file per file basis or globally.

  Non-sequential example:
  #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) VISIT(v) APPOINTMENT(a) EVENT(e) | DONE(d) CANCELLED(c)
  Note: These are NOT sequential states by different kinds of TODOs.
  Note the abbreviations in parentheses. This makes for fast access to TODO states.
  OR,
  Sequential example:
  (setq org-todo-keywords
      '((sequence "TODO" "FEEDBACK" "VERIFY" "|" "DONE" "DELEGATED")))
  This example gives the sequential states of a task.

Another possibility is to use different keywords to assign various tasks to different individuals:
```
  #+SEQ_TODO: "Raoul" "Linda" "Marianne" "Stephanie" "Anita" "Tracey" "Deemter | "DONE"
```
Note that the vertical bar | separates the TODO states from DONE ones.
I.e. any state after | always means the task is DONE! Any state before means in must be done.
C-c C-t toggles the state.
C-c C-c refreshes local setup.
Prefix arguments will allow you to insert a specific state

To get really fancy, one can use different faces for different keywords

  (setq org-todo-keyword-faces
      '(("TODO" . org-warning) ("STARTED" . "yellow")
        ("CANCELED" . (:foreground "blue" :weight bold))))
