terrible at data retrieval.

I nominate this as the ultimate advice on how to get things done with
Org-mode :-)

Hello Quiliro,
Thank for you reply and advice. :)
Generally, I use the GTD workflow. Or what I think it is (I'm not an
expert). I started with 3 files:
* Tasks.org
* Notes.org
* Inbox.org
Now, the file "Notes.org" is a folder. And inside I got a file per
subject.
I capture notes and tasks,
Hello Antonio,
Thanks for your reply and advice. :)
I looked at TaskJuggler and I see how it could help. But, by looking at the
screenshot, I see too much information in the same time. And, as someone
with difficulty to concentrating, I need more minimalist tools.
But I will try it one time.
Hello Milan,
Thank you for your reply and advice. :)
Indeed, using deadline with longer in-advance warnings is a good idea. I
completely forget this feature. Using priority and split big task
is also a good advice. Today I pay attention to keep Org-mode as simple as
possible. It was not the case

Hello Matt,
Thanks for your reply and advice. :)
I already use Org-mode since a few years and it work great with little
tasks. Tasks that take a few hours maximum. My workflow is GTD, or
something very close (I'm not an expert of this subject).
My concern was more for school works that need
Hello Seb.
It is great that you want to use org for your planning. It is the best
tool I know of. Tim's advice sounds the best introductory one and
others even gave you advanced advice. Nevertheless, you never told us
how you use org and why it takes so much time for you. Perhaps you
could

Hello,
I'm not sure if I will help you with my advice, but I really appreciate
to use taskjuggler mixed with org-mode. There is somewhere in the web an
org-exporter to taskjuggler. I think recently a topic on this matter
appeared in this list.
Taskjuggler can help you optimizing complex

Hello Seb,
It sounds like org-mode can be a great fit.

Hello,
I don't know if it's the correct place to ask it. If not, sorry to ask in
the wrong place.
How do you manage complex project with Org-mode ?
I used Org-mode for several periods of time in recent years. It worked
very well for short and day to day tasks. When only a few of theme have
