I'm still a bit disorganized and I still procrastinate, but seeing
those bright red tasks on my screen certainly helps get me to work.
That, aand knowing people checking my website see the same tasks day
after day after day! <grin> I also like being able to maintain my
course websites easily under planner. I can post source code examples
too.

This works, and it's neat. =)

Instead of making subwikis, I tend to just use this naming convention:

MainPlanPage.SubPage
or even
MainPlanPage.SubPage.SubPage

This lets me use M-x remember-to-planner on the subpages as well.
