I know elisp and I never use it for org-mode. Actually all of my use of org-mode can be summarized in this short comment.
I use org-mode as 'outline mode.' I only do this with it:
* asterisk denotes a level
* asterisk next to an asterisk denotes a sub-level of a level
* sublevels can have sublevels, effectively making them a level, by the above rules
Then you press tab to expand a level or sub-level, press tab again to contract a level or sub-level.
That's it! I tried some of the org-mode add-ons but never found them useful; this is the only one I use regularly.
- nextos 6y agoorg-mode is outline-mode plus some extra markup like timestamps or links. Those are the basics. Then, you can create views of one or several combined files. For example all items with a timestamp in the near future (deadlines). The standard view for organization is called org-agenda. Aside from that, you have many other features which you won't need to use initially. For example, the ability to embed code and do literate programming.

- benhurmarcel 6y agoI've been using Dynalist very similarly. I agree that it's a very simple approach but works well.
