Will give in the agenda:

  TLP:              Scheduled:  NEXT Chapter 5
 TAoM:              Scheduled:  NEXT Chapter 1

It defines a category for each book.

Caveat: when I first discover the power of categories (and other ways to
attach interesting information to a headline) I started to use it a lot.
Because I thought I would finally find something useful to do with these
informations.  But sometimes it's just too much, and the hope for some
useful-thing-to-do-in-a-near-future leads to irrelevant hassle...

So in this case, I would simply put "* Chapter 5 of the Tractatus" in
the headline. But this might be entirely personal.

BTW, the Tractatus is also on my TODO list :)
