Hi Michael,

I find column mode the easiest personally.  My setup is described at
http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#TaskEstimates

Starting column mode for a single entry (not a huge org file) should be
really fast.  Then right arrow to the effort column and enter your
quick-key for the value you want.  I actually assign effort values in my
refile agenda view.  This shows a bunch of tasks (normally less than 20)
and I assign efforts to each one before refiling them.

If an entry already has an effort value you can go to the property in
the property drawer and cycle through the preset values with S-right and
S-left.

HTH,
Bernt
