emacs org-mode

emacs org-mode is the most powerful tool for daily planner, (as far as I known). Depend on personal taste, the emacs could be the real daemon or the absolutely life saver.

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)
