I will post soon on how I use the GTD methodology with org-mode, including an outline of my lists, which may make things clearer. I think you should read GTD! :-)

Previously I had been using howm (http://howm.sourceforge.jp/), which in general I like, but I wanted to use something that was part of emacs, and less formatting-heavy. I'm not crazy about everything with org-mode. The emphasis on hierarchical organization doesn't work well with me; I want something more tag-focused. But in practise, I can just put everything on only a few levels and use org-occur to see what I want. I haven't yet read GTD, so that might help me with organizing my org-mode file a bit better. One tip I have is to put your main org file and your emacs diary file in a folder together, adjusting the paths as needed in .emacs, and putting them on revision control. This helps me keep the file up to date between my laptop and desktop, and would also serve as a backup if the repository were remote.
