An aspect of this that I bet Dennis does but didn't mention: you can also just change the next review date and leave the review frequency the same. If you have something that is "on hold" for now, but will require regular attention in the future when it resumes, this is nice because it doesn't require you to remember to change the review frequency back, while still saving you the trouble of reviewing the project over and over while it is still on the back burner. I personally find that over-reviewing projects is counter-productive; there should be enough time for something to actually be expected to happen between reviews or I find myself getting "numb" to the lack of visible progress ("yeah, maybe I'll work on that tomorrow, but first I have to finish my daily review of 200+ projects").
Grouping projects by next review is a handy way of organizing the review process.
