I think this is probably the key to making this successful. If it takes you too long to locate the headings, you won't bother clocking in. What's the best way to quickly get to a heading? I'd have to say that using isearch (C-s) is the fastest method to find a heading. There's also org-goto, but it requires extra steps. What are other people doing to quickly get to a specific heading? -- Peter Jones, http://pmade.com pmade inc. Louisville, CO US
