I am constantly trying to be more productive, and there is one thing that I noticed: If you give yourself a specific time for a task, then you tend to finish this task in this time. It helps to stay focused and do stuff that is most important. So, the question is - Is there any way to set a timer on a taks, and get a bell when it is expired? Some time before I even wrote a small extension that helps me to do that http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/tea-time But now I am thinking - is there an orgmode-way to do that? It would be great to integrate it with great time tracking system, for example... If nobody uses proposed feature, please give me a hint how it would be best to do that. my best, Konstantin
