1) An org-mode file that contains links to everything I am currently working on, and which I change as projects start and end. This gives me instant access to almost everything I need.

Translated to .emacs, this means:

(find-file "~/org/current.org")
(split-window-vertically)
(org-agenda nil "g")

Konrad.

Same here, except I also have a dblock that links to my most recently modified files to remind myself what I was working on last.

In .emacs I have:

(defun org-dblock-write:recently-modified (params)

(insert (mapconcat (lambda (arg) (concat "[[file:" arg "][" arg "]]" )) (split-string (shell-command-to-string "ls -t ~/org *.org | head -5")) "\n")))

and my startup page looks like this:

--------------------------

# -*- eval: (org-update-all-dblocks) -*-

...my stuff...

#+BEGIN: recently-modified

#+END
