Hi Jason,

Are you looking for the start/end time for the month, or each day?

I personally use the agenda to display both the clocking lines and the
associated clock report

C-c a a l R

You can limit the results to some tag in case you want to filter only to
specific projects -- then use C-u R instead of R to get the clock report
limited to the tags as well.

I don't have an automated way to record these details ATM.  I usually
just transcribe the few required details to whatever time reporting
system needs the data.

HTH,
Bernt
