The first hit is free! ;-)

Org-mode (like Planner) can pull people into using Emacs (however scary
and intimidating it might seem in the beginning.)  And it's only a short
step from bbdb, remember and even mighty gnus. :) I have had almost the
same experience as the author here [1].

1. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-wiki-discuss/2005-04/msg00011.html

But remember: planning != doing (might seem obvious to you but I still
don't /get/ it. :)

There are two components to this:

1. knowing how to put stuff in .emacs (either by hand or by using
Customize interface)
2. knowing what to put in there.

For #1: Seek help from Emacs documentation or on Emacs-help mailing
list.

For #2: Imagine the functionality you would want in your ideal
project/task planner and then look that up in Org-mode manual, FAQ and
list archives.  If you do not find it there (unlikely) then do not
hesitate to ask on the list.  Just do not try to customize everything in
one go.  Keep using and customizing it as you better understand your own
workflows.
