how to end TODO lists in emacs org-mode

Question

I have a list of TODO items, and I\'m trying to have 2 TODO lists in the same file, but can\'t seem to end the first one.

FIRST LIST: TODAY
* TODO Item 1
  D         


        

Answer 1

Very simple, just make the two headers become list items themselves., like so:

* first todo list. 
** first item in list. 
** second item in list

* second todo list 
** first item and so on... 

This additionally gives you the ability to fold the lists.
