My Emacs starts up showing two windows:

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.

2) A buffer containing my agenda and to-do list.

Translated to .emacs, this means:

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