IMO the reason many have this problem because they think "I need to know
everything Org-mode can do" or "I want to customise Org-mode" from the
very beginning.

The way I went about it was to get an overview of the capabilities from
Worg and start using only the features I needed (in my case note taking
and export). As I became more familiar, I delved into other features
(like agenda, babel) and customisation of the already familiar features
(e.g. custom export hooks, personalised colour theme etc).

Idea: Maybe this could be a nice entry on the FAQ, "Where do I start?".
Maybe even a dedicated page on the Worg Index page. Any volunteers?

:)
