So how would you "manage" such situation in org-mode ? I'm clocked in with the task I'm currently doing. If this is interrupted I will clock in the new task that has been appointed to me without clocking out the old task. (You might have to create the interrupting task before clocking it in.) After I'm done with the interrupting task, I'll do C-u C-C C-x C-i and press "i" which I believe stands for "continue the previous interrupting task". (I have this bound to F-keys because I clock stuff all the time.) > Thank you, > > Xavier Hope that helps, benny
