[Orgmode] org-back-to-heading: before first heading

[bgm-rao]

Hello,
        I am a new user of org-mode I have copied
John's daily planner as is, and has been very useful. 
However, I have one problem: when I key a remember
item into the template and C-c C-c, I get the error
"before first heading" and the remember buffer stays.
Could you please help resolve this?
