And this is exactly what orgmode.org tells you from the start:
,----[ http://www.orgmode.org ]
| Simplicity
| At its core, Org mode is a simple outliner for note-taking and list
| management. You can learn the basics for using it in five minutes.
| This may be all you need, and Org mode will not impose more complex
| features on you.

with a link to

There is also the compact guide, which is the first link on the
documentation page:

I don't know how hard org is (or is not) for emacs users; I came to
emacs because of org and started from there :). My first post to this
list is from mid 2008 (... that long already?) and it is getting more
and more complex; I could pick up new features along the way.
If you are new to org and/or emacs: Take it easy :). I know it is
tempting to try everything at once, but don't get frustrated while doing
so.
IMHO & FWIW
