In case of beginners, I would recommend people first follow the tutorial:
http://newartisans.com/2007/08/using-org-mode-as-a-day-planner/ (Using org mode as a day planner)
On the other hand, based on the configuration file (.emacs file) from the tutorial before,
I have build a simple cheating sheet for daily common usage: ( This cheating sheet itself is built by using org-mode)
