Robert, Agenda view with log mode ('l' key in agenda). I also suggest you use inactive timestamps, then they can be added to the log using '[' while in the agenda view. This is very similar to my workstyle. With all of my professional projects I keep a project journal. My todos and notes are in the outline, and each time I change tasks, leave and return to the keyboard, or feel it needed I press F9 which I have configured to insert an inactive timestamp. Thus my notes files are riddled with timestamps, but they don't get in the way as I tend to put them between paragraphs. Inevitably when someone asks how my hours were used, I can pull up my agenda with logging and inactive timestamps and export to html. This makes it easy to provide documentation to justify my time. It also lets me track what was going on if and when a problem occurred. Only with Org! One note on using inactive timestamps vs active. The active timestamps always show up in the agenda, and are used as appointment reminders. The inactive ones you have to choose to include which is why I use them. My F9 macro: ;; Insert immediate timestamp (define-key global-map (kbd "") '(lambda () (interactive) (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode) (org-insert-time-stamp nil t t) (insert "\n")))) Enjoy! ------------------------------------------------------------------ Russell Adams RLAdams@AdamsInfoServ.com PGP Key ID: 0x1160DCB3 http://www.adamsinfoserv.com/ Fingerprint: 1723 D8CA 4280 1EC9 557F 66E8 1154 E018 1160 DCB3
