Worg [1] is IMHO clearly the best place to start (and finish!). There is a lot of stuff there, and I don't think I'm even 10% done. (I still haven't looked at the calendar, tried the to-do list and wasn't convinced, etc.)

At first, comparing it to Markdown (markup-wise) was very helpful. I keep this page ( http://orgmode.org/manual/Markup.html ) handy and write my blog posts in Org. (This is why I found babel to be invaluable : I don't have to keep my code separate from my post, which is one hassle less for quick demonstrations).

Right now, my strategy is a little bit like this : the moment I think something would require some writing, I quickly check what org-mode has to offer. The learning might be slower, but I don't get bored this way.
