I've been in my new "simple GTD" system for about a week, and it feels
very comfortable. Thanks again to Carsten and to the org-mode
community.

Now I see what was wrong with my previous uses of org-mode. I never
used any keywords other than TODO and DONE. This didn't give enough
information, so it meant that every task I might possibly ever do had
a TODO item. Because of the absurd number of TODO's I never used the
agenda feature much, and therefore didn't schedule many things; I
relied on my cell-phone for scheduling appointments, and never set
deadlines in my personal coding projects.

Now I am scheduling more things, and using the agenda views
regularly. 

But I am still having one problem. Right now I have a section in my
One Big Orgfile that looks like this: 

> * Books
> ** TODO Read "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus"
> *** DONE Find out about Wittgenstein's notation
> *** NEXT Chapter 5
> *** TODO Chapter 6
> *** TODO Chapter 7
> *** TODO Review entire book
> *** MAYBE [[http://s22318.tsbvi.edu/mathproject/appB-sec1.asp][Spoken 
> mathematics]]
> ** TODO Read "The Analysis of Mind"
> *** NEXT Chapter 1 

This gives in the agenda:

 dto:              Scheduled:  NEXT Chapter 5
 dto:              Scheduled:  NEXT Chapter 1

Without any indication which book the chapters are from.  Can I fix
this with properties or tags or categories or something?
