Org-mode is an unmatched tool for keeping track of your day to day tasks. I have yet to find an alternative that offers scheduling tasks with as much flexibility as org-mode. The biggest barrier for me, however, is that org-mode runs inside of Emacs. As a Vim user, I have tried all of the org-mode implementations for Vim and have yet to find one that can come even close. Further, fitting something similar to org-mode into Vim goes against the simplicity of Vim which I value so much already.<p>Taskwarrior is a decent command line alternative to org-mode, but is lacking in the scheduling of tasks department.
Procrastination at his best! <i>Writing</i> a blog post about how to <i>optimize</i> your tasks by <i>customizing</i> and <i>configuring</i> a mode of <i>Emacs</i>!<p>Obviously, I'm not totally serious here since it seems that he use it effectively each weeks; And I'm also happy that he shared it with us. However, talking for me, my best todo process consists of "Do it <i>NOW</i> else write it in todo.txt".
Here's another good overview of an org-mode workflow, goes WAY more in-depth that just GTD:<p><a href="http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html" rel="nofollow">http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html</a>
I use orgmode every day. There is also a nice iPhone/iPad app to have your schedule on the go.

Let alone the switch to Emacs, but I've been trying to implement GTD since college, using all sorts of tools, and I've read the book I don't know how many times, and I still feel like it's over my head.<p>Are there any alternatives?
Does anyone know where you can see other user's org configurations? Or a canonical configuration? It'd be interesting to see how users use org-modes capabilities in different ways. (I don't mean blog posts, just raw configs)
