Thanks, this is very useful. Although it doesn't work with checkboxes as 
individual items to option. Can it be made to work with checkboxes, or 
is there an easy way to convert checkboxes to TODO items?

I've tried

C-u C-c C-c
C-x C-x
C-c *

and then using search/replace to add "TODO "

but that unfortunately eliminates any previous hierarchy in the 
checkboxes. Is there a better way?
