Several times when I've had this type of question, I've found answers  
I can use on Bernt Hansen's Org-mode pages:

http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html

After my last trip there a few months ago, I've been very happy with  
the way Org-mode fits my work flow.  You don't have to share Bernt's  
penchant for clocking to come away with very many useful and practical  
ideas, all cleanly and precisely implemented.
