Subject: increase effort estimate on the fly.
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2009 11:42:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <61176df0906090242we7696ddue5ba825ff96622e5@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Dear all,
Recently new feature was added - when you set an estimated effort for
a task, you can be notified when time is up.
(sound is controlled with org-clock-sound variable)
I found that pretty often from the beginning I can not correctly
estimate what time task will take and I need to give myself an
additional time.
To address this issue I wrote couple of functions that helps me with that.
What do they do:
When you have clocked item and want to add time (increase effort
estimate), you call function org-clock-increase-effort-estimate, which
will ask you for a time period. It will update update currently
clocked item in a buffer as well as a mode line.
I hope this might be helpful to someone

defun org-clock-increase-effort-estimate (add-effort)
"Add time to the effort estimate.
Update Effort property of currently clocked item.
Update mode line."
(interactive "sHow much to add? (hh:mm or mm)? ")
(if (and (org-clock-is-active) org-clock-effort)
(let ((add-effort-minutes (org-string-to-minutes add-effort)))
(progn (setq org-clock-effort (org-minutes-to-hh:mm-string
(+ add-effort-minutes
(org-hh:mm-string-to-minutes org-clock-effort))))

(defun org-clock-set-effort-estimate-in-buffer (effort-string)
"Increase effort estimate PROPERTY for the currently clocked item.

(let ((back-mark (point-marker)))
