I've also just returned to planner after being in outlook land for  
couple of years and a brief flirtation with org-mode.  So far, its  
good to be back.

I wouldn't call myself a fan, I've not read the book and I'm wary of  
happy-clappy lifestyle hacks, but what I've gleaned so far from  
second-hand sources is pretty simple:

- Day pages equate to your next actions.  To put a task on the next  
actions, schedule it.  Make sure planner-carry-tasks-forward is set  
(I believe it is by default).
- Instead of a separate waiting-for list, I just put tasks in pending  
status, but I'm not sure if this is the best way to handle it.
- Enable planner-multi so that you can maintain tasks on context-list  
pages.
- When you create a task with C-c C-t, you can schedule it or not,  
and then add it to a project page and any context-list pages you want  
by entering them at the Page: prompt separated by spaces.
- I have context pages for my major clients as well as for the  
various cost-codes that I need to put on my weekly timesheet.
- I use planner-timeclock to log what I do and if I put the cost-code  
page first in the list of pages, I can get a nice daily breakdown of  
how much time I spent on each task ordered by cost-code using planner- 
timeclock-summary.  The only real problem with this is that I need a  
weekly report broken down by project *and* day - planner-timeclock- 
summary-show-range will give me the former, but not the latter.  I'm  
trying to get my head around lisp so that I can do one myself.
