Even if you have the wrong structure at the beginning, it's really easy to fix later. Re-organisation (moving headlines, for instance) is trivial *and* as org-mode has the full power of emacs and is text based, making global changes are just as trivial. It's this flexibility that encourages one to simply jump in and use it and the benefits then quickly make you wonder how you got along without it!
