Thank you Eric,
until now TODOs for me always seemed to be a bit heavyweight because of the headline needed.
I wonder how people are working.
Do you use checkboxes a lot or prefer TODOs even for simple subtasks?

I find it disturbing to have to open a new headline just for a simple task.
This forces me to continue with TODOs (= headlines) else all subitems will belong to the preceding headline.

Any best practice or comment?

Thanks,
Rainer
