The TaskWarrior +WAITING virtual label is the new way instead of status:waiting according to the changelog.
Every once in awhile, I remember that I have a wiki/workflow document with a list of labels for systems like these: https://westurner.github.io/wiki/workflow#labels https://westurner.github.io/wiki/workflow#labels :
GTD says have labels like -next, -waiting, and -someday.
GTD also incorporates the 4 D's of Time Management; the Eisenhower Matrix Method.
4 D's of Time Management: Do, Defer/Schedule, Delegate, Delete
