Pardon for my poor English, if I don't expree clearly then let me know

I need a way to make a TODO entry in plain text, not just at header

In such case, the level 2 TODO will break up my the one plain list into
two. So assume that the original header is:

* TODO Things I need to do [0/3]

Now it will become: 

* TODO Things I need to do [0/1]
